Skate Dreams

I still remember the day I got the call from her. I was at work on a Saturday and she was out skating in Duarte with the kids. "I think I broke my ankle." And she did. Required 7 surgical screws and months of physical therapy. A couple weeks into physical therapy, she was back trying to skate in South Pasadena -- on friggin' crutches and an ankle brace. Obviously, she failed miserably and hated it. Love this picture, though.  November 2005
