:What did you do, skate through a mud puddle?
:Well, I wouldn't really call it a puddle...
Saturday was beautiful, and I got to go outside to play. Lots of children about; a three-year-old girl at the library was fascinated to see me putting on my rollerblades, and I saw at least two instances of a bicycle-built-for-one-and-a-half that I'd never seen before; it has three wheels (so is strictly a tricycle, I suppose, but an in-line one), with a normal front and a seat for a halfling in back. I also saw some kids on a skateboard jumping a ramp, and they tried to invite me over, but I declined; perhaps I should have tried on one of their helmets and given it a shot. A couple a half years ago, new to a neighborhood, I was walking home from the train and came to rope jumpers in the sidewalk who invited me to give it a go. I put down my bag and jumped for a minute or so, at the end of which I learned from the applause that something of an audience had generated across the street.
