Parable: the skater and the pebble...

This is a really long story, but worth the read when you get to the bottom. It only deals partly with skating, but thought you would appreciate a story of my Dad's ridiculous antics with skating. This is just one among the millions of stories that are similar to "... so there I was screaming down this hill at 52 mph when suddenly..." but a little less... um... screaming. Well... no, I think there is screaming at one point...

I just thought since I mentioned my Dad in an earlier rant, that this might be amusing. Enjoy!
