We also have a newer skating rink closer by, but my sons didn't get into skating as much as I did. <br />Oh and as for Billy Joel, he was my hero in the 80's thanks to his song, 'Only the Good Die Young.'

I got my first kiss at the skating rink from the boy I was certain was the love of my life. He wasn't, thank the Good Lord, since the last time I saw him at a reunion, he was unemployed and "just trying to live life in nature." <br /><br />I'm pretty sure those were his code words for homeless. So, I guess that means my first kiss came from a homeless guy. <br /><br />And that's the wonderful thing about roller skating rinks.Joann Mannixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163491824085428085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962663674229618682.post-14507516140378278032010-04-25T09:18:16.166-04:002010-04-25T09:18:16.166-04:00I was only at a roller skating rink once for a par...I was only at a roller skating rink once for a part of a birthday party in either 1981 or 1982. I didn't skate much because I was afraid to- bad memories of braking my arm while doing so in 1980.<br /><br />I like Billy Joel but not as much as I used to. I have to be in the mood for hearing him- certain songs do annoy me though.
