About me: I have a job that allows me to take some vacation time to do things I like to do, with some limits. Right now I like Roller Derby. Roller Derby has been reborn in the United States, and I don't mind saying that a local women's league was responsible for this most recent form of roller derby. My particular favorite is Flat Track Roller Derby, and all the skaters who work so hard to make it happen. There are somewhere 200 flat track leagues around the world right now, and as a kid I loved roller derby, as did my grandfather and my uncle.

I have been seeing so many events here in Texas, the local Texas Rollergirls, Alamo City Rollergirls in San Antonio, the Houston Roller Derby, Assassination City Roller Derby and the Dallas Derby Devils. These ladies own their own leagues, and I am amazed at not only the effort they make on the track, but the development of skills that occurs from all the practice they go through.

My other interests have gone way down the line, because my heart right now belongs with roller derby, and the ladies who are making it happen. Perhaps I can help out with an occasional pregame or game recap article, but that is just a minor contribution in comparison with what they are doing right now. The fact is with the fall Derby season is getting over in this part of the country.
My most recent effort is mocerating a derby yahoo group:

Are you coming to Dallas for Queen of the Hive? I looked at the roster and WOW.... looks exciting. I'll be watching only on Saturday. I didn't sign up in time because I was sick.
Thanks for supporting our Troops! I appreciate it and I know our Troops appreciate it.
If you would like to help us thank those still serving overseas and help those coming home wounded, please stop by the profile, read the latest blog and do what you can.
I heard one of the skaters landed on you and knocked your clip board down. I was watching DNN all weekend and heard your name by one of the announcers. Ha Ha
Okay, those tagged pictures of you are kind of creepy. I actually thought one of them was real until I looked at it closely. Well at least you got to go to Ca. with the DDD's for free!
