• There's no denying Emily Hughes sleeps well tonight, unconcerned about competition from the matron in Fort Worth, but still....all things considered, the lesson with my friend, Laura, went better than expected.

  Meaning the only part of me that made contact with the surface of the ice was the blades of the skates, I discovered my ankles don't cave inward if the skates fit properly (who knew a size 8 1/2 shoe should wear a size 7 skate?), and doggoned if I didn't manage to take a good five forward stroking steps in a row without hanging on to the side of the rink. 

  It's possible I might be able to manage this after all.  Laura's graciously giving me another lesson on Friday afternoon.
