Ice skating

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. #sports
