  In the interest of trying different activities to stay healthy and fit, I’ve been wanting to do an inline skating half-marathon. I did a 10K skate in Redondo Beach two years ago which was a lot of fun, but they canceled that for the subsequent years. Since then, I haven’t had an opportunity to skate another race or be photographed reluctantly in mid-tuck. Some of you may fondly remember this “I’m too sexy for Milan” picture.

  
  

  

  
  

  So, lo and behold, there is a half-marathon skate in Napa Valley during the July 14-15 weekend. And barring any unforseen circumstances, I plan on being there at the starting line.

  
  

  Of course, I prefer to do races that are local, but this one has appeal on multiple fronts. I think it would be nice to visit Bay Area friends and catch up (Hint hint!). After a 13.1 mile skate, maybe I can enjoy a hot spring bath in Calistoga. And by coincidence, the Dodgers are in town that weekend.to play the Midgets Giants. Perhaps I can catch Barry Bonds’ 756th HR ball and use the seed money to start that ramen joint I’ve been always dreaming about!
