TFW you're at the puck shooting range at a hockey store trying out sticks that might provide more lift than your own (which is rarely more than no lift at all) ... and you hit the store ceiling. The puck landed on top of the very tall net.

Oops.

@cathyyardley.bsky.social Do you ever write "slice of life" snippets for holidays or whatever?

One i would've to see is a bit of the gossip from Aiden's family after the wedding.

Ah, the sweet, sweet sound of validation.

Think I actually managed two loop jumps today - nowhere near the wall! May have also managed a flip, but I'm more dubious about my success on that one.

@seananmcguire.bsky.social Judi and I want to know: did your mom kill the ostrich?

@scalzi.com I just got a friend started on Starter Villain while she was here, but she doesn't want to give money to Musk. What are her options for buying the audiobook?

After working as rink guard at an ice rink for more than a year, I remain astonished that children haven't undergone a mass extinction event due to foolhardiness.

What is the weirdest connection you know you have?

For me, I'm 4 degrees of separation from Nicholas II, last czar of Russia.

You know you're a figure skater when you take pictures of ice and share it.

There's a Blue Jackets post showing all the dads visiting their NHL kids. Thanks to Duolingo, I want to post the reply, "show us your tátas", but I don't think any of them are Czech.

TFW, during the morning of an average work day, one feels the urge to buy a practice bagpipe chanter. Or a bombarde.

Geek and proud: as of today, I have skated more this year than in any previous year. Also new: the time is evenly divided between figure skates and hockey skates.

@courtneymilan.com Because I've been hitting it hard for stress relief this week, and it's on the mind - do you still skate at all? I really loved your idea of a "skate-on".
