Z Brunch

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is, "Are you still playing roller derby?" (Other variations include, "Do you still rollerblade?")

I refereed for the past couple of years, but no, I don't really play anymore. I do, however, keep up with my Z-Girls. A lot of us became refs, and a handful of us still meet for drinks at the Cove on Tuesday nights. I often skate on the greenline with my old coach, and friend, Natalie. And last Sunday, almost all of us met up for brunch at Bardog.


I have to say that you'd have to look pretty hard to find a finer bunch of women. We had a great time catching up and the funniest part is that I don't think that we even mentioned roller derby once!

Okay, the funniest part may have been when the manager offered us all a free shot and we declined! (Okay all but two of us.) Then he offered free dessert and we had to really think hard before deciding to split just a few.

Our old motto was "Fast and hard!" Now it's more like "Slow and steady," but I'll take it.
