Get the Skates Rolling

Back when ESPN was the age that Olivia is now, they televised something called “Roller Super Stars,” which showcased the theater that is roller derby. I remember taking in and being taken by the end-to-end (round-and-round?) action.

Roller derby has reemerged in the collective conscience of our community. Our area supplies us with several teams, and these teams supply us with entertainment and awesome participant nicknames (e.g., Bruisy Homemaker) in return.

Here are my attempts at derby-esque names for the kids:

Olivia, aka O, the Humanity!
Reed, aka Rough-and-Tumble Reed
