What I did overlook were what they had in common - falls. But surely, it wouldn't take long in coming back to me. Well...I was out 'n the ice in no time flat. Now don't get me wrong, this wasn't due to eagerness, what I meant to say was m no time, I was FLAT on the.ice! I got up again and with each stride, my confidence was regained. One thing I did learn was I must have a different version of figure skating - mine being when I have my figure laying level with the ice! I was glad though, that I decided to par- ticipate with the boys when I did, for within a day, mild spring-like temperatures moved in and our rink slowly disintegrated right before our eyes. as he was meant to be.
