I cut through my side yard and walk down my neighbor's driveway on my walk to the Metro each day. This morning, I briefly felt like a kid again. Her driveway (which I shoveled on Sunday) had a very thin coat of ice. Thin enough that if you wanted to walk on it, you could. But thick enough that if you wanted to slide on it, you also could. It slopes gently downhill, so I took a few steps and pushed off. Slid gracefully down the length of the driveway in a surfer's stance.
