I entered the Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club today for the first time. I was disappointed that I didn't run into any (skating) celebs, but I did feel like I was in the presence of greatness. The rink was B-U-T-ful. I could skate in there everyday. It made me miss the freeskating. Jumping especially. One day, I'll get the courage to jump in my dance blades. At least my low rent ones have two picks. I'll switch back to FS blades in the future after my skating career is over (for the second time).
It was funny (for me, at least) to see the members walking around in their tennis, cricket and workout gear. Sitting at the bar and having a cold one. What a world.
Whatever. The rink was amazing. So much character. So much history. Sigh, I miss boardless rinks. Ice Galaxy, I'll be back soon.
I still miss my freebie TCS&CC pen that I got in my loot bag from competing in my second Interclub competition (back when getting to that level was a BIG deal) which I lost in high school. It was a generic light blue BIC pen, but it had TCS&CC stamped on it. Best pen ever.
