morning party at the rink

m's friend celebrated her 14th birthday today at bryant park (14!). we had salsa and chips and rice pudding. unfortunately, m and c and i had trouble skating. our skates need to be sharpened. m and c weren't sliding as much as i was, but they had trouble digging in and executing all the little tricks they like to do. i guess we really gave our skates a work-out in east hampton on green pond around new year's. other than that, we had a fun time and everyone went off to dance class at the Y on 14th street afterwards.
