Learning to Twirl and Spin

New Year's Eve, told to me by a friend, age 55:

Skating. I love ice skating.

I'm taking lessons now. I've known how to skate my whole life, but I've always wanted to be able to twirl and spin and dance on the lake where I live, so I'm doing it. I've been going for about 8 months.

You should see me. I'm not very good, but I've got a good teacher. I love it, but I also love the feeling of learning new things. I love doing new things.
