We finally got to Rise this weekend to pick up C's new skateboard. In the picture, as you can see, is J, though, who quickly adopted it as her own. C used to skate a lot when she was a kid and had been wanting a new one ever since the new skate park opened here a year ago or so, so I grabbed her a gift certificate at Rise for her Birthday and now she's set. It's funny to see your wife skateboard. She's good, for a wife-skateboarder. Personally, I have always wanted to try it too--but it wasn't something people in my town did when I grew up and I have no history with it, and so I suck at it. It's hard, skateboarding. I think I'm going to stick to mountain biking for my thrill sport.

i've always wanted a skateboarding wife, you lucky dog. . . . or a skateboarding husband . . . or a skateboarding labrador retriever. personally, i think petey would look great on a skateboard. tough as nails.
For sure. You *know* that if you gave Pete a skateboard, he would take to it the same way my dog started swimming when I first showed her a lake. That's just the kind of dog he is.
Say, there were a couple of great old-timey bands playing at the BG fest up in Kville today. You should think about going next summer.
