Goodbye.

“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” ~ Dr. Seuss Well, it seems odd that I’m writing this. As I pack my worldly belongings, I keep coming across little derby knickknacks. After almost three years of being in this odd family (yes it is like family with the good and bad times), I’ve got a few keepsakes that will bring back memories to make me smile when I unpack...

Juicy Raw Fresh Meat, the Seasoning Continues

The day of first fresh meat tryouts was nerve wracking. I hadn’t been on skates in years and I had to borrow skates and gear from one of the derby girls to try out. As I looked around and saw some of the girls that had been practicing all summer long, I wondered if I was in over my head. However, the moment I put on my skates, I knew I would never take them off again. I officially became part of...
