When she took me out skating, she saw that I was being too damned cautious. So she asked me to join her at a large concrete piling, and to rest my elbow on it. I was wearing padded wrist and elbow guards, which I tell you because... ...she picked up my forearm and SLAMMED my elbow back down onto the piling as hard as she could! And I barely felt anything. And after that demonstration of the protective gear's effectiveness, I loosened up a lot, and learned much more quickly. Some years ago, a friend bought me rollerblades for my birthday.

Hard to get up the courage to fall. Took me weeks. After a few weeks I was skating with the local (rollerblade) skate punks. You can do it. We have faith in you. Rollerblading is easy, actually.

(Although, if you need a patsy to take a quick day trip to Vegas, rent a "funky", retro, 70's inspired, powder blue suit to get left at something vaguely resembling an "altar" in, lemme know. I have weekends off.) Oh yeah.... and make sure you post pictures of the unicorn. The last one I saw turned out to be two guys on "Claritin" in a horse costume with a waffle cone super-glued to the front. It was, sadly, less awe-inspiring than it sounds. - Kenny G.
