I went to see my hockey playing podiatrist today for the fourth and final visit on the walnut sized corns on the bottom of my feet. I found out today that my podiatrist graduated from Yale. and his brother is the hockey coach to another Ivy League university. With that background not only do my feet get healed we got in a damn fine discussion of Radius of Hollow (ROH) of hockey versus figure skating. How many of your doctors can make your painful day of minor surgery go easier by talking about ROH?

| These feet, plus a scapael, plus some acid, and 2 weeks of limping. |
As my podiatrist hands me my socks he says, " I'm perfectly fine with a half inch ROH."
"I like my 15/32 inch ROH perfect for the first time skating after a sharpening."
"My sharpener was my barber when I was a kid."
I laughed. "His skills with his blades, were they THAT good?"
"He was a professional sharpener before he switched to barberin." He made wry grin."And he was a bookie. He used to cut my brother's hair too short on the left side while he took bets with the phone in his right hand."
My sharpeners never did anything like that!!
