My Good Friend, the Kneepad

I went out rollerblading (actually attempting to rollerblade since I'm still learning) and had a great time. I'm getting much better at it. Today's lessons included learning more speed control and turning(both left & right :-), can you tell I'm rather proud of myself?) My safety gear came in handy. I lost my balance a couple of times, and let me tell you, it's so much nicer to fall on a kneepad than your kneecap.
I think I'm going to enjoy this thing they call rollerblading :-)
