If I had a zillion gazillion dollars....

... I'd have a skating rink in my house! A really pretty one in the Maxfield Parrish/Hearst Castle style (to match the indoor/outdoor swimming pool). And a Roomboni to make the ice, of course.

I had such fun at skating class today. I'm finally making some progress in learning how to do crossovers. I still can't cross over more than a couple of inches, but I'm getting the balance. For me, the best practice technique seems to be skating around and around the circle, alternating between pumps and one-footed glides.
