A few weeks ago I got all sorts of tipsy at a BBQ put on by a friend who is a sommelier and wine importer, which = excellent free wine all night. He kept appearing with delicious bottles of things I can’t afford at the store, and I kept drinking them. It was loads of fun, and though I regretted it the next morning, I did discover that I like German white wines. Along with the hangover, I woke up with the aftermath of a conversation where I vowed to learn skateboarding.
And I plan to stick to it. If I can snowboard well, I feel like this can’t be all that different. Growing up in Telluride (where many wrote the zip code as sk81435), you just had to hit the slopes. Being in Portland, I’ve learned to bike well, and now I’m ready for a new sport. A sport that can pack in a small bag and fit in the overhead bin on a plane.
Plus, I’ve always found ladies who skate sexy, and I’m ready to join the club. With wrist guards at first. And I don’t plan to do any tricks, just get from point A to point B with a few curbs between.
One of my coworkers runs a snowboarding club at Mt Hood, and offered to take me out skating (or sk8ing as she put it) a bit. Plus, there’s a ladies skate night at Dept. of Skateboarding here in town. So it’s all matching up. Now I just need this cute mock neck sweatshirt by Nikita (sold at Zumiez, no less!), and I’ll be on my way.
You know that DJ friend you have? Well, I have some too, and one of them is on the hunt for a wedding ring. It’s still top secret, but I was asked for advise on cool rings. This has to be it: voice personalized jewelry by Brooklyn based
