I skate from time to time but "old guy" ice is hard to come by here and the ice they make these days is a lot harder then when we were younger

When I met my wife 11 years ago she wanted to do some activities we could do together for fun. Wanted to know if I ever roller bladed. Nope, never had. So we got some blades that Sunday. She calls me on Monday afternoon and wonders what I'm up to. Just got back from the park down the road, skated down and back.
What? How'd you do that? Hell, I don't know, just skated up the driveway and down the road. What you do when cars came? Just skated onto the sidewalk and then back in the road after they went by. The park is about a mile and a half from our house. She never had asked if I could skate, just if I ever bladed. Man was she pissed when I told her I had played hockey half my life. Never went blading together after that. Funny how those things go sometimes.
