Was that "Mr. Skier on Wheels With the Flailing Poles" in Central Park in
that New York Times article specifically actually you, John?

It couldn't have been me, because I didn't have poles with me when I was
skating in Central Park a couple of days ago.

I was however linking tight slalom turns on St Nicholas Ave, until a noticed
an SUV-driver behind me patiently waiting for the lane to free up to more
traditional purposes. And dancing on Broadway while skating up to the red
light at 53rd St.

But on Manhattan island that's not enough to get a reporter's attention.

Gliding around the streets in the metro New York is so much fun, it's going
to be tough for skiing on snow at Mt Van Ho this weekend to live up to it.

I'm not sure. There are probably about five or six people that roller
ski in Central Park a lot. I'm almost never on rollerskis though --
blades instead (with poles) though kids tend to yell "He's skiing!" or
"Where's the snow?" so the connection is obvious.

You're famous. But then we knew that.
