Went ice skating today with a friend and his kids, the first time in 25 years. I was no good at it as a kid and have been avoiding it ever since. Well, contrary to my fears, I only fell down once, and not even on my ass. Granted, I am slower than a granny or any 4yr old kid, but it was so nice to rediscover this stuff.
On the ice, I realized that this skating thing was a pretty good implementation of what I take to be the DJ mindset. Trying out new things, winging things, getting better by persisting, not caring what might happen etc. Plus, it was freaking cold and snowing like crazy all the time, winter wonderland so to speak, and I thought to myself what a great first date location this is gonna be once I can handle the skates.
Next thing coming up is indoor rock climbing, also a first. Man, once you get in the mood there's loads of things to discover. And all this is within 30mins of my place.
