Now, let me preface this story with this. There is no way I would ever put skates on my own feet again. The first time I put roller skates on, I nearly shattered my left arm.  And, adding insult to an injury that clearly scarred me for life, I hadn't even made it to the rink yet when I fell. The wheels went crazy as soon as I stood up from the bench. vI slipped, flew up into the air like a human whoopie cushion and then fell onto the carpeted floor in a hot, crying mess of a heap of embarrassment and pain. Lesson learned.  Roller skates don't go on these feet.

I am only marginally more graceful on ice skates. I haven't been ice skating in ages and the last time I went, I had to shove kids away from the big sawhorse, so I could use it to help motor my clumsy behind around the rink.

Now, all that said, Owensboro Parks and Recreation has come up with a fun way to celebrate Halloween for all you folks who actually CAN ice skate! They're hosting a Halloween Glow Skate Party. Here's the official announcement from Facebook:

In addition to the Glow Skate Party, Edge is turning the locker rooms at the facility into HAUNTED locker rooms! Plus, you're encouraged to wear costumes to the big event. I personally would wear one of those inflatable Sumo wrestling outfits so I wouldn't break every bone in my body when I attempted by double axel. LOL!
