I went ice skating last night with Wendy.  It was a "date".

It turns out that I approach ice skating the same way I approach snowboarding and, unfortunately, driving.  My sole objective is to pass whoever is in front of me.  But I think it's more than just a self-preservation mechanism (meaning I do it for my own safety).  It's a game.  I weave in and out and pass people left and right.  It's my own little competition.  I do it while traveling on a sheet of cold, rock-hard ice with blades of metal strapped to my feet.  I do it while speeding down a snow-covered mountain with a piece of plastic strapped to my feet.  And I do it on a paved road while inside a big metal/plastic box.  This practice seems ok with ice skating and snowboarding, but I'm thinking driving might not be the best thing to treat like a game.
