Skinnerella here, on pins and needles waiting for the van to pull up outside my house. Tonight we will drive down to Hebron, Nebraska, about 12 miles north of the Kansas border. The lovely lady at the Riverside Motel called a few minutes ago and, though she had planned on waiting up for us to arrive, when I told her that it would be 2 am (if we make good time), she decided she would just leave our room unlocked for us.
Why the late start? Why, the love of our lives, roller derby, of course! Mo, PBR and Dubbs were in Cedar Rapids last night bouting on a team of 7 against the Cedar Rapids Roller Girls. And our 7 Roller Dames came away victorious! Tonight the intrepid trio of skaters is reffing and coaching a Korn Stalkers' bout, hence our late start. The skaters will hopefully sleep in the van, then get a solid 4 hours before we get up and get skating tomorrow. If not sleep, I'm hoping that bristling excitement, a banjo-heavy ipod mix and granola will be enough keep them going. What more does a person need?
