winter about four years ago i decided to buy some skates just about every homegrown canadian could skate i reasoned so it couldnt be that difficult what id failed to take into ac count is that falling from a height of two feet is a lot less painful than crashing spectacularly from fivefoot five not to mention the ignominy of performing the stunt in front of an amazed group of skilled skaters most of them under the age of 12 on one of my outings to cedarena as i shuffled around the perimeter of the rink clinging desperately to the fence i ac quired a small coterie of amused male cheerleaders on my fourth round one of them kindly remarked that if i returned to the entrance he was sure i would be given my money back after a few similarly humiliating experiences i decid ed to go against the grain at the risk of spending winter alone i was finally prepared to admit that snow and ice for me were meant to be admired from the warm and safe cocoon of the liv- friends happy to boy is improving

little bumps on it two months ago i discovered i wasnt alone i finally met a nativeborn canadian who thought that snow belonged on christmas cards and people belonged in front of a warm fire the
