Good Morning, Lodge!
Jensen's Supper Club is right next door to my "office". Speaking of which, I will be at my office Saturday afternoon to kick off the golden birthday extravaganza.

Still the old one. Use some Lysol wipes, give a quick one-through, and you are free to the use the old one.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather
Parking at Yost is lousy. Most of the parking lot near Yost is prepaid passes. There may still be very limited for sale (I think $10 but it may be $15 now). I park at the Coliseum for free and walk. The Coliseum lot is at the corner of Hill and Division, there is usually plenty of space and the walk is not bad (south on Division, take the sidewalk between buildings where Division ends and then you're in the paid lot, follow the parking lot to the left).

Given Scarlet's silence on the subject, I'm guessing that we're not going out for drinks with Sarah Hughes.

I'm somewhat nervous about how the other Squirt coaches will handle *me* when they see how poorly I skate. Ha ha! Ha. Hmmm.
Morning, El Lodge-O.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather
Just learn how to get into a good hockey position, and stay in it when you're moving around the rink, and your skating will improve immensely right away - especially with worries surrounding balance. When you push off during your skating stride, remember that your foot doing the pushing should be cocked out between 30-45 degree angle, that you shouldn't pushing straight back from your body, and the gliding foot is pointed straight ahead. Work on that stuff, and your skating will improve immensely.
Instructions for turning and stopping aren't so easily conveyed over a message board that doesn't allow imbedded pictures or video.

That's 'cause she's bringing bigwigs to town, and you're all like, "Hell, we can drink at the farm and shoot of fireworks and sh*t! Yee-haaa!"
Scarlet. Baby. How are you? I assume you're staying near the MOA. If you're stuck eating at the mall and need something nice, the Napa Valley Grille is good. Otherwise it's mall stuff.
If you can get out, though, there are a couple of good options just 15 minutes away in South Minneapolis:
1) Broder's Pasta Bar -- Casual Pasta Bar
At the corner of 50th Street and Penn Ave, there is Broder's Pasta Bar. Great, casual, fresh. Pasta, salads, dessserts.
2) Terzo -- Nice Italian Wine Bar
Right across the street at 50th and Penn the same family runs Terzo Wine Bar. Small plates or full menu, excellent Italian, huge wine list.
Both places are popular, so you might have a wait. Also, this is Minnesota, so they close at 9:30. On weekends they go crazy and stay open until 10:00.
3) Cafe Maude -- High-end American Bistro
Nearby at 54th and Penn is Cafe Maude. Usually you need reservations. Great bistro food -- steak and fries, lobster mac 'n cheese, roasted fall vegetables; that kind of place.
And if you can't get away, you can't get away. Good luck with the gig!

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather
You're worried about the coaches? What about the kids?

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather
Lies, I can give instructions on stopping via message board: To stop, run in to something or fall down.
What? That's not how you stop? That's how I stop. Then again, I play on a team where if you can skate backwards you're a defensemen. I play forward.

That's why I quit trying to help coach after mites - I didn't care what the coaches thought.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather
Ah, yes, I forgot about the alternative methods of stopping. Adding to your list, you can also grab the person nearest you.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather
I will add that these methods can also be transitioned for skiing/snowboarding!

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #170: Fair Weather
In skiing, I am a much bigger fan of the "fall down" approach than the "run into something" approach. Though one time in Montana I came too close to doing both as my nylon ski pants let me just keep on sliding towards a barrier.

I've never had a problem stopping while skating or skiing. I can barely skate, but once I get moving I can hockey-stop like a maniac.
