I took Shmoo ice skating yesterday. It was his third time ever, all in the span of a month. (The first time was in San Francisco.) He really really loves it, which is great because he otherwise has some serious couch potato tendencies. As it turned out, I spent most of the hour skating backwards, since that was the easiest way for me to support him. My calves are really mooing today.
Some highlights:
- 2010 hockey hair is much cuter than 1985 hockey hair.
- A dad at the rink asked me whether I knew who Laura Ingraham was. I said no and he told me I look like her. I've now looked her up. Wow, between that and the Coulter without makeup comparison two years ago, I realize I've missed my calling as a [your adjective(s) here] conservative pundit. So I guess, depending on my hair length, I have two good choices for Halloween.
- OMG I am glad I'm not a figure skating parent. The gear and the footlockers and the diva-wrangling. I'll take my science/literature/music nerds any day. Although I may be imitating another pundit by becoming a hockey mom because . . .
- HPR ran out with the kids today to buy some hockey sticks. Can you believe he's never heard the "make like a hockey stick . . ." line?
I watch Fox all the time (better to know thine enemy) and you don't look anything like Laura Ingraham. The Ann Coulter resemblance is a bit more accurate, but she's ugly inside, a true hater. Time for me to get the puck...

No way--I say you resemble Laura Linney, in more ways than one.
Hey, we have a couple of USA hockey jerseys that don't fit anyone anymore. Want em?
