Today I went to this amazing park with a full circle of pavement used mostly by older walkers and younger bike riders. I have been looking for new opportunities to skate for exercise as my beloved outdoor group has as much as disappeared over recent months for a miriad of reasons. It was good to feel the sensation under my feet and to see folks look surprised that I knew what I was doing. I was able to practice some dips and pivots as well as manuals on the street surface. Balanced in the Aframe on my tiny stoppers looking for the proper tension needed to hold the matrix someday. Mainly I enjoyed how no surface scares me anymore. And the hypnotic sound of skates rolling. #skatersgonnaskate #skatejoy

I’m pretty sure everyone at work knows I roller skate, I worked with many of the people at a previous job, and I used to skate pretty openly in the office. I also post to IG and YouTube, mainly because my IG is connected to Facebook and my boss is my friend there, and when I’m in an every day challenge it’s best not to show how much I’m skating, maybe I’m over thinking things 😂. Today I saw a fun activity to try with AI. Prompting ChatGPT the following: “Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like.” The attached is what came out. While I don’t have any white skates, everything else is pretty accurate, ok, and I don’t have a body that looks good with large belts, but I do wear a lot of black. The AI even has a pretty good representation of my son. The husband is off, but the bikes are accurate 😂. Anyone else want to try?
