Who Needs a Third Wheel?
Lessons learned while blading along the St. Lawrence River at 8 a.m.
1. You CAN skate six kilometres on a three-wheeled-rollerblade and make it homes safely in one piece.
2. You CAN NOT trust the 18-year-old in the sports store when he says, ‘I can put the new wheels on for you, no problem!”
Yes, there I am, skating along at 15/km an hour —I know this because one of those digital speeding signs on the side of the road clocked me in la belle langue: Votre Vitesse: 15 —and my wheel starts to fall off. It’s a bumpy ride to the curb, but I manage to make it without a scrape.
I just know my parents are cringing as they read this (The good news, Mum and Dad, is I had a helmet on, and no music in my ears!)
Anyone happen to have a couple spare inline skate wheel screws? No idea where they fell off. I did backtrack four or five kilometres on my three wheeled skate, but wasn’t sure about the shape of my *other* wheels at this point, so I headed home.
I asked you in the introduction to Carry On Dancing to please join me on my small adventures. Perhaps, just for today, you should stay away from me and my adventures!
Have a great day everyone, and play safe.

Where the Butterflies Went? Kindle!
It’s been a long journey to this day, and I want to thank you readers first and foremost for helping get Where the Butterflies Go to here.
Where the Butterflies Go is finally out on Kindle! I’m also thrilled to announce that I’ve decided to put it in the Kindle Select program, so for 90 days, it will be part of Kindle’s unique lending library. Readers with an Amazon Prime membership can now choose from thousands of books to borrow for free once a month, including Where the Butterflies Go!, with no due dates. For more info, click here.
Even if you don’t have a Prime membership, I’ve kept Where the Butterflies a low $4.99 US, with hopes that more downloads will mean more proceeds that I can give to Unicef’s Gift of Education program, and other children’s charities that promote education, such as Hearts for Change.
I’m still convinced that giving half the proceeds from sales of this book and of LEAP to help educate children who wouldn’t otherwise get educations is the single best thing I can do with my words and images.
So, here we go! Let’s see if a few Kindle clicks can help change our world for the better. Sure doesn’t hurt to try. Let’s Leap!
Thanks for reading my friends.
