Now you know that there is no way in heck that I couldn't possibly throw in a little laugh or two...My name is Lucinda Wesson and I was a skater..There I said it...From the time I could walk till about 11 years old, myself and Maggie Squyres woke up at the crack of dawn to shove our feet into very very small boots and skate for hours in a giant freezer. Ok..I had dreams of becoming a hockey player but back then girls "just didn't do that". I know that Maggie would agree with me.. our Moms were amazing..I can barely get my child to Little League practice...and skating is certainly not an inexpensive sport...So I dedicate this board to My Mom and Mrs. Squyres for being the most utterly supportive and fabulous Moms. I will always carry in my heart the memories of driving in the red cushy Lincoln with the BeeGees and Dolly Parton playing in the 8 track, my mom rubbing my feet in between skate changes (little did she know I had Raynauds) and watching them use humor in order to deal with the "Skating Moms" and their horrible offspring.

Happy New Year!!

Today, I have the privilege of waking up and starting a brand spanking new year at the Island. I am watching as the sun dances on Little Narragansett Bay, all the while playfully bouncing off the yellow walls of the Ocean House in Watch Hill, R.I..Everything is astonishingly so bright... just like the exciting possibilities that await in a brand new year....
