    Pond :: Sweep Me Off My Feet

    April 30, 2021

    This weekend’s music selection is from a band called Pond. I’ve been listening to them for a long time now and love their songs, particularly Sweep Me Off My Feet. I like neo-psychedelia / synth pop music when it comes to a song, and this one in particular carries that tune perfectly.

    I hope you’ll give it a good listen. Have a great weekend!

    Xx,

    Do You Want to Skate With Me?

    April 28, 2021

    I have always loved to roller skate. I put on my first pair of skates at the age of 7, and never looked back. My father would take my sister and I to the local park and we would skate around in the huge open basketball court. No one was using it, so we had free range all over that court. Then I started getting really dare devilish and skated around that huge park on my own and rolled down a long steep embankment, headed right towards the pond. It was exhilarating!

    If you’re interested in picking up some roller skates and have never tried before, I recommend watching these videos. There are plenty of videos out there, but these are the ones I deem to be helpful for beginners. If you’re an oldie, and need to brush up some skills, you can still enjoy these videos for fun.

    With the weather turning warmer, get out and enjoy it!

    Xx, K.

    Fun Fact: M&Ms : As in Forrest Mars and Bruce Murrie, the two businessmen who created the candy-coated chocolates M&Ms. The two men had a very contentious relationship, as Mars leveraged Murrie out of his 20 percent share in the company in 1949—years before M&Ms would become the best-selling candy in the U.S., paying him just $1 million for a share of business that would quickly be worth billions.
