Considering this is only the second time I’m on rollers again after five years, I can be pretty proud of the progress. I still don’t quite feel like I’m ever going to be quite good at it, but maybe that’s just because I’ve been used to being lousy at sports all my life, whereas there’s no reason for it to still be true now that I’m not a dysfunctional geek anymore, only a geek (I could blame my crapiness at all sports involving projectiles on my lack of three-dimensional vision, but I have no excuse to fail at skating).

You could have told me it was Friday evening! Not only I’d have started piling up on (soft) drinks for the week-end, but I would have found something more interesting to do than atoning for my couscous on rollers!
