Adult African-American figure skater getting back onto the ice while facing the trials and tribulations of injury, illness, odd looks and being a lefty in a righty world.

Into the Fire
I have moved; it was hell. Let's just say it was so bad that the high point was when my car broke down and I was stranded in the middle of the street until 2:00 in the morning.
Thank you AAA.
Or maybe it was when I discovered that 2000-2003 Ford Focus' have a system-wide problem that causes the ignition chamber to lock preventing the key from turning at all. This left me stranded in the parking lot of my office.
Thank you Ford.
At least I know where my skates are... I think.
I hope to be back on the ice this week. I hope to be able to skate more than once a week.
I have plans and desires. I need to somehow put them into action.
"Let the lightening strike
Let the flash of it shock you
Choke your fears away
Pull as tight as a wire
Let the fever strike
Let the force of it rock you
We will have our day, sailing into the fire.
"Someone has to face the valley
Rush in!
We have to rally and win boys
When the world sis saying not to
By God, you know you've got to march on boys
Never hold back your step for a moment
Look alive! Oh your courage will grow
Yes it's higher and higher and into the fire we go
Into fire!
Onward ho!!"**
** "Into the Fire" from The Scarlet Pimpernel. Music and lyrics by Frank Wildhorn.
