i'm sensing a trend here

1. Last month, Rhiannon told me that she'd joined a roller derby team. (WTF? tangent: My favorite sports writer, Frank Deford, published a book on the sport in 1971.)
2. Saturday, I thought Leo was referencing "Solarbabies" when he mentioned a movie about rollerskating starring Corey Haim. (For the record, the right answer was "Prayer of the Rollerboys.")
3. Today, this headline flashed across my g-mail: New 'Xanadu' laces up skates.

The end times are near. You heard it here first.
