Why aren't you blogging??? At some point with doing this blog, I came up with an informal set of rules, one of which was to never write anything negative. It produced a big delay on my blogging as I sorted out what I was capable of saying about WAR, the Washington Area Roadskaters as a club, both positive and negative. I enjoyed discovering the club. I enjoyed joining and contributing my time and resources as a board member. It was great fun promoting the club and rebuilding the membership records from scratch. I also enjoyed leaving the club. It was very liberating. Now I can go skate and not have to worry about making all the people who kept placing their demands on me happy. My free time is finally my own again. |

DC to NYC Travel on the Cheap |
he Big Apple Roll in New York is scheduled for Friday, September 5th through Sunday, September 7th, 2003. It will be a great weekend of skating and hanging out in one of the best places for skaters in the world -- Manhattan. If you have a limited budget, or just don't want to spend a lot to get there, you might want to travel on a Chinese bus line. Here's how.....
