Just for fun, I'm including this picture that was up on a wall at the rink, showing Timothy Goebel executing a quadruple salchow jump. Goebel trained at Winterhurst Ice Skating Rink for a time during his skating career.

Evil Genius Rocks on Ice
Today I finally got to go ice skating again, which I haven't been able to do in a while. We went to Winterhurst Ice Skating Rink in Lakewood, OH. Winterhust has the neat feature of being two side-by-side rinks. The ends can be raised to make one giant rink, which they usually do for open skates. That's the way it was set up during today's open skate. My daughters skated with me; DH watched and photographed. I love the feel of gliding over the ice (quickly or slowly), the sound of the blades scraping the ice, the cold air going down my throat like a cold drink. The girls re-adjusted quickly to ice skating (they've been a few times before) and I got to practice my Mad Skating Skillz. I took lessons for a while as a young adult, and I love recreational ice skating. It's great exercise, too!
