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.

   We flyered the Bethesda to DC Commuting Routes

We went out and flyered all the public posting areas along the typical route that morning commuters would use to go from points all the way from Bethesda Maryland to downtown DC. The idea was to have flyers visible for morning commuters as they get their coffee and get on their buses and go to their Metro Rail stops. On Tuesday 3/22 we posted about 40 flyers for this effort. We covered a lot of distance, skating all the way out past the Friendship Heights Metro station. Entertaining landmarks on our way back included the Russian Embassy and the Social Safeway in Georgetown.
