axels.

as children, during the winter olympics, my sister and i would push back the couches and the rugs and put on our socks and ice skate around the living room. that is one of my fondest memories of my childhood. i told ali about this the other night. then she gets up and does this crazy single axel thing. next thing we know we are jumping off her couches doing single axels, half axels, and spraining our ankles. things got pretty crazy. that's the kind of crazy things that happen at the mercer home when karla and phil are out of town.
