Last week while teaching, the song Magic( from Xanadu, sung by the fab Olivia Newton John) popped into my head and dropped me into the following memory: I'm eight years old. I'm with my best friend, Yvonne, and we're holding hands, skating at the roller rink. I'm wearing royal blue terry cloth shorts with yellow piping, a pink t-shirt with a sparkly decal "FOXY" patched across the chest, over -the -knee socks that match my red, white and blue roller skates.
