Hello Everybody! I had a really great time at the Inline
Speed Skating World Championships in Venezuela this
month. It
was an exciting event this year with plenty of drama
and controversy. I'm still
editing and organizing my photos but they will
be posted on my Web site soon, along with links to
reports and photos on Web sites all over the world. I'm
also working on some interesting (and in some cases
unusual) articles I think you will enjoy.
I had a big disappointment this month: I was not able
to attend the Aggressive Skating World Championships
in Pomona, California because I could not get a press
pass! Next year I will be more aggressive (in a nice
way) about getting a press pass, and start the process
earlier, so I will have more time to convince them that I
REALLY AM press.

| A Note from Kathie |
 |
|
Welcome to the new all dressed up version of the
SkateLog Newsletter. Do you like this fancy new
format with photos and colors or do
you prefer a plain text newsletter? Let me know!
Also, a few people have commented that my
newsletters tend to be a bit long, so watch for more
frequent but shorter newsletters in the future. At least
I will really try...
MY EMAIL (UGH): I am receiving a huge avalanche
of email every day, and between hundreds of legitimate
messages and thousands of spam messages,
I have had a big problem staying on top of my email.
I am working on several things that will help
resolve that problem, so I can stay in touch
with my Web site visitors. That is *very* important
to me so I will fix the problem for sure, one way or
another. I don't want to lose any of my friends in the
skating world.
NEXT CHAT: I have to miss the chat this Sunday
but starting December 7, I will be in my chat room
every week, waiting breathlessly for you to visit.
