Huyen and I went to a local park to go roller skating. The roller skates were clearly from the 1970s and hadn't had maintenance since at least then. The thing that I found oddest about the skates is the rink had not replaced the shoe laces when they had ripped. Everyone was skating around with only the bottom part of the skate laced up. Anyone who has ever played hockey knows that the most important part of the skate is the ankle. If the ankle isn't tight your foot will flop around and cause you to be unstable. I think it was because of this that only about two people in the whole rink didn't look like they were drunk while skating.
My father always jokes with me that if he had started me playing hockey earlier in my life "[I] could have been something." Well, if Huyen and I get married and I have kids I'm pretty sure hockey won't be their sport if they get their mother's skating gene. Trust me, this video is hilarious:

Don't say Huyen is klutzy til you have her take a video of you on those terrible skates.
You did not post the video that i did it professinal!
Thanks Mrs. August, I will do some video of Ben's funny action, like: speaking Vietnamese!
Anyway, at present i am not better than Ben at any sport or games, except CONNECT FOUR!Is it right, Ben?
It is true that Huyen may beat me from time to time in Connect Four. However, whenever we place a bet on a game -- like lunch yesterday -- I win. I haven't taught Huyen the English word "hustled" yet.
Please tell me What does "hustled" mean? Ahoy Hanoi!
Thanks a lot!
The video of Huyen was fun to watch and the story about your water heater was even a real trip. As for Facebook, I have an FB but am contemplating cancelation because of ongoing issues regarding ownership of photos. So, for now I'll have to be satisfied with viewing your pics on your blog. At some point I'd like to make contact in some way via the computer, but I don't want to jepradize your privacy or mine by posting my address on an open blog. LH in KY
the guy who rolls by at :50 in the video is awesome.
