Some days I can't get out of my own way, other days I can't do much at the beginning of a session but improve mid-way through. Then there are the "golden" skates where I sometimes startle myself. Golden skates are v. infrequent but I live for them.George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-39175903395952274412017-03-06T09:24:44.926-05:002017-03-06T09:24:44.926-05:00See, stage 3 cheers me up and gives me hope becaus...See, stage 3 cheers me up and gives me hope because I know I'm very very veeeerry close to getting that skill down. Usually, for me, stage 3 means that I'm just making one silly mistake over and over again that's stopping me.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033941639288059816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-43011422259402044942017-03-05T10:57:01.478-05:002017-03-05T10:57:01.478-05:00I'm in stage 3....:-(I'm in stage 3....:-(Babbette Duboisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721808053479678691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-78076253938984105602017-03-05T05:24:16.070-05:002017-03-05T05:24:16.070-05:00I've been missing my Back Left Outside Bracket...I've been missing my Back Left Outside Bracket. When I was younger, it said it was going to the store for a pack of smokes and it never came back. I can't help thinking that I wasn't good enough and it didn't want me; this has impaired my ability to form meaningful relationships with other turns. Come back, Bracket. I'll be good, I promise!Queniffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087887202920388270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-36692751674189550182017-03-05T04:29:45.278-05:002017-03-05T04:29:45.278-05:00I find I go through several distinct stages in nai...I find I go through several distinct stages in nailing a skill: 1) It's really bad & I can't really do it 2) I can sort of do it, but not very well 3) I can do it, but it's consistently bad 4) Hurrah, I can do it, consistently and well.
