Roller Derby, Anyone?

I read an article this morning about a local, all women's roller derby team.  I find the fact that our little city has a roller derby team quite fascinating.  I guess that I really find the entire concept of roller derby fascinating.  I don't understand it, is it a sport or just odd entertainment?  Rolling around on skates trying to just about tackle another girl does not appeal to me, especially after falling on turf at the Relay for Life event - falling on wood is not appealing, no matter how many elbow, knee, neck, or whatever pads I am wearing.  Maybe it is just something fun for women to do to make them feel athletic, sporty, and competitive.  Is interesting.

On another note, I find myself really enjoy Google Reader.  It is super efficient because it picks up new articles or pages for me to read without making me go to each page.  It also helps keep from having to remember so many web addresses or filling up my bookmarks with pages that I visit nearly everyday.  Plus, I tend to get a kick out trying to subscribe to page just to see if it has a feed!  It is so much fun!  With Google Reader, I have learned how to fix my squeaky shower curtain, where to buy organic or natural building materials, 25 different ways to use frozen spinach, and how to work from home.  Its amazing!
