Is it worth it?
Recently I’ve been thinking that taking up the sport of roller derby was a big mistake. It’s come to totally dominate my life. Everything else takes a backseat, or must fit in with, training and bouts and meetings and tasks. I’m wondering if it’s worth it?

ILOC and CANI
So, I’ve been totally slack with this blog for months now. I’ve posted the occasional flyer or video or, more often, reposted other cool derby-related blog posts. Suppose I could bring out all the usual excuses of having no time, etc, etc. I won’t though; excuses suck. I played in my first proper bout last month.
