Years ago, Tom and I grew weary of doing the same old thing every weekend - dinner and a movie. Dont get me wrong - we love dinner...and we love movies - but we thought it would be fun to start something we termed "YOE" or (Year of Exploration). We made a rule that on our dates - we had to do something that we had never experienced together. We have gotten creative through the years - and have tons of great memories.
Well - on May 31st - it was The Rollerderby. That's right - Rollerderby. Large women in fish net stockings on wheels - elbowing each other out of the way. It was all we dreamed of and more. We pulled up in the parking lot and all of the derby ladies were in the back of a pickup smoking cigarettes (I think). We got front row seats in the rink (held at Roller City). The only thing it lacked was some licorice rope from the concession stand and me and Tom doing a couples skate to "You're the Inspiration" (Tom would be the one skating backwards). It was a double date with my brother John and his wife Shannon.
This weekend is an exclusive girls night out back at the derby. The guys have a priesthood meeting - so it's our time to get wild. Who knows - maybe someone will even sport the fishnets!
Okay, that's awesome! I'm sure that made for a great night of laughs. Good for you and Tom, doing "other" things. James and I talk about it, but stick the good 'ole movie and dinner. Sometimes we would change it up in AZ and go goofy golfing. That was fun. Do they have those here?
