That is a great story! You wore the rollerskates durring the concert? Was
there a certain attire you were supposed to wear?

That really sounds like something that would happen to me. For any of you
who personally know me, which I can only think if three, I have one of the
most ironic lives. Accidents and misfortune stalk me everywhere I go.

Now for my story. When I was playing in the pit orchestra for "The Sound of
Music" I had this big idea for my mom to drop me off at the head of the park
and I would rollerblade to the amphitheatre. When I was almost there I
thought "WOW! I'm still alive and nothing has gone wrong!" That is a rare
thought for me. Little did I know that something was wrong. I forgot my
shoes! If anyone wanted to look at me for some odd reason they could have
seen me. The stage of the amphitheatre is behind a creek with all of the
seats on the other side. There is a platform in the creek for the orchestra.

I did tap my feet unintentionally and my neighbor had to smack me every few
minutes.
