12/8/10 ~ Skates are hard

Thought for the day: speed skates are hard.  They are hard to put on, even harder to get off, and while they’re on, they are simply hard.  I’m sure there is a reason for this, since Bont skates are what all the pros use.  But wouldn’t it be nicer to feel like your feet are cocooned in marshmallows?  I think I will add this to my LONG list of patent ideas:  “Marshmallow Brand Speed Skate Inserts.”
Side note: I come up with patent ideas all the time.  My husband, Dr. James, actually has a handful of patents that are both hard to pronounce, and have no practical application.  My patent ideas, on the other hand, have broad appeal and I think would make us rich.  James strongly disagrees and to date, has not helped me patent anything.  My patent ideas include, and I can’t give too many away: a motorized widget to turn my hanging plants.  Or: an attic fan powered by a solar panel.  They actually have that last one, but I did think of it on my own.
