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. |

Tanya's Wheels |
anya told me that she has been skating with WAR for years and years -- that's probably why her wheels were down to the nubs! Last week she brought a new set with her to the Wednesday Night Skate so a few skaters helped her make the switch.

David's Blowout |
arlier in the season, David joined the blowout club when one of his wheels delaminated from its core during a Wednesday Night Skate.
