Dear Rebecca,

Thanks for following my blog. I know that you think it is “weird” that your ol’ man is blogging, but “whatevs.”

I am aware that two of my three children are pictured on this blog, and that you are the one that isn’t. When you pointed out this fact, my poignant response was “go for a skate sometime and maybe you’ll get on there.”

Now, here is the simple truth: sightings of UFOs are rare. Sightings of Sasquatch are even rarer. Sightings of you on skates are…well, you get the idea.

We all know that you prefer to spend your time immersed in water in its liquid form, instead of balancing on thin strips of metal on frozen water. And that’s more than OK…it’s great!

We are all proud of your swimming achievements, and we are very pleased that you have found some kind of athletic activity that you enjoy so much. I hope that you get as many years of fun from swimming as I have from skating and hockey.

Love,
Dad
