Dear Counting,
Well, here we are, here I am, on the 1000th day of roller skating. Let's do a little roller dance to celebrate, shall we?
In 12 years and a thousand consecutive days of skating, I have only convinced maybe 15 people to try it, and made converts out of 6 or so. It's slow work, exhorting y'all to have some fun. But, I blame myself; if I was more persuasive, if I asked you more often, if I didn't lose confidence in my conviction.
Think about it, and I will ask you again, a hundred days from now.
PS
Think about this, too: Maybe you wonder what kind of people would like roller skating? Here is a short, but by no means complete list!
People who like wheels, people who like shoes, people who like ice skating, people who like excitement, who like yoga, skiing, riding a bike, skateboarding, riding a scooter. People who like to wear socks, people who like trying new things, people who like trying old things; who like to dance, to jump rope, to unicycle. People who like stilts! People who like cats, dogs, horses; people who collect stamps. People who like to dive, to fly, to walk, and to listen to music will all like roller skating!
