How neat is that. I would probably need just as much assistance as they did if I were to attempt to do an ice skating show. I used to be able to (somewhat) stay on my feet when roller skating - but I've never been ice skating. Well, I take that back - when I was about 12 they tried to put up a portable ice rink at the ball diamond. I remember walking up there with Mom's old ice skates - by the time I got up there her old leather skates were so stiff I couldn't get them on and in my ultimate wisdom tried to skate with frozen skates only partially on because my friend that I was up there with was already skating

. Of course it didn't work....and my cheap plasticy-rubber boots froze in a weird shape in a pile in the snow so when I finally gave up then I couldn't get them back on

. My feet were frozen solid by the time I walked the 7 or 8 blocks back home. You know sometimes I wonder how I have survived as long as I have, all things considered
