Dear Aunt Bessie, Thank you so much for the gift certificate to the roller blade roller coaster. Dad took me yesterday, and it was really a blast. The first you do is to choose in-line skates that fit. They are special, more like ski boots and with safety wheels that hold you in slots on the track.
With
the roller blades on, you take a small elevator up to one of three levels, higher for more advanced. I got off at the first level, and when the track was clear, they locked me into the slots and switched me onto the track.
Like a roller coaster, you glide all the way down, up and around, trying to bank on the curves – no brakes! What a ride! This was the best present ever. Happy New Year, Johnny
P.S. Dad took a photo that you can click on below. That’s me on the left starting to get the hang of it.

Looks like fun. Locked in the slots, eh? Can I have the on-site emergency orthopedic care concession rights, please? |

Dear Sister,
How DARE you treat my children with such wanton disregard for their safety through your thoughtless gifts of dangerous experiences. What's it going to be next year, a shotgun?

...There was a long wait with so much space between skaters, but I really appreciated the distance when I lost my balance -- it was a long time before the next skater ploughed into me, so I had a chance to brace myself and tuck my shattered tibia back into my boot. |

The strange thing was, Dad just stood there the whole time grinning and taking photos. How do you think this will affect my psychological development? |

P.S. I found a staple in the cookies you sent me. |

P.S.S. Don't worry about my old ankle injury. They have full-length leg braces that go straight up past your knees and support everything if you need 'em... |

Next time I try the black diamond slope... |

What if I just lean back? |

Baked by a guy in Germany it seems. |
