Last night was a bit crowded - a lot of the skaters who are competing this weekend came for an extra practice. It'll probably be less crowded next week, especially with spring break.

The April Public Session schedule shows that these Tuesday night sessions will continue for a few weeks:

Off topic - in Oklahoma (I spent four years of my life there one decade) ROLLING ROCK BEER is classed as an import because of its 3.2% alcohol content - now THAT'S "messed up". . .

(In OK, beer is supposed to only be 2.6%. Oh, yeah - and in OK, you can't buy beer before noon on a Sunday. They actually cover over the beer section in the cooler at the grocery stores and block off the wine aisle. Or at least that's how it was when I lived there from '96 to '00 - and from what I've heard it hasn't changed much. We used to go to Dallas - where beer is 4.6% and up - and get loaded off of three because we were so used to lower content in OK. SAD, I tell you.)

(So maybe it's not as bad here as it seems. . .)

And NYC - I'll be there this Tuesday unless something bizarre happens - like I hit the lottery. . .
(In other words, plan on my being there!)

I'm really going to try and make it this Tuesday slow! Work is SLOW - which is not good - but hey I might as well skate!

On an unrelated note, does anyone in NC know a good ankle doc? I just saw a great knee doc (thanks, skaternum! knee is fine but needs PT anyway). Now need ankle doc

and potentially new custom boots

oh dear

TiggerTwoSkates, do you know anyone at Duke?

We used to have a multi-state conference when I was in College that alternated between Texas and Oklahoma- and one of the "intro" topics (local laws, essentially) when it was held in Texas was to remind us all that domestic beers have higher alchohol contents, and to remember that when thinking "I'll only have 3". It didn't help, except to serve as a reminder for the TX kids to bring their own beer when the conference was in OK.

This Tuesday night session is continuing through the end of May.
There were 5-15 people on the ice with no injuries last night! Yay!

Rumor has it that they might add a similar Thursday night public skating session. If they do, I'll post it here.

The rink also has a three-day Adult Camp coming up May 13-15 (8am-3pm) Mary Jo Bullin is going to be the head coach for that camp.

Quick update:

. Tonight is the LAST Cheap Skate of the season since hockey starts up again in that Tuesday night time slot.

. Triangle SportsPlex will be closed from 9/3 - 9/10/2009 so they can melt the ice and complete necessary painting and repairs.

. Reopening is tentatively scheduled for 9/11/2009, but call first to be sure the ice rink is available.
