One last skate at Ice Castle in Lake Arrowhead
Ice Castle is world renowned as a training facility for skaters. I remember all of the clips of Michelle Kwan skating at that location and remarking how cool it was to be training at a rink without barriers and with mirrors, just like a dance studio. I've always wanted to see what it's like to just skate there, 6000+ feet of elevation notwithstanding.
I found out that the historic Ice Castle up in Lake Arrowhead was closing on Aug 30, 2013. I had never had a chance to just go there one day and skate and kept pushing off plans...until now! I dropped everything I had planned for the weekend and said EFF IT! and drove all the way to the Los Angeles area for one final Sunday morning skate up in Lake Arrowhead (08/25/2013).
My friend Vicki Busch joined me for a day of skating and frolicking up in the mountains. Fellow adult skater Marco Pizzo just happened to be on the same session as us, as well as 2013 World Silver Medalist Denis Ten! If this was the first and last time we got to skate there, I'm glad we had such a great time.

Lake Arrowhead Travel Guide | California Travel Tips
California travel expert Veronica Hill shares her Lake Arrowhead Travel Guide in this episode of California Travel Tips.
In this video, Veronica explains how to make the most of a Lake Arrowhead vacation, located just an hour east of Los Angeles.
We'll check out an Olympic ice skating rink, go on a paddlewheel cruise, and head out shopping in the Bavarian-style Lake Arrowhead Village.
Before Hollywood took over Lake Arrowhead in the 1920s, this mountain playground was home to the Serrano Indians, who found a bounty of wild game and fish along its streams. Today, it's an upscale escape with plenty to do for both couples and families.
If you want a Lake Arrowhead hotel that's close to the village, Lake Arrowhead Resort won't disappoint. It's the nicest Lake Arrowhead lodging on the mountain.
This amazing lodge was remodeled in 2007 to the tune of $18 million, complete with a state-of-the-art spa, gourmet restaurant Bin 189, pool, and private beach.
After you've rested, grab some of the resort's delicious homemade donuts, then head out to the lakeside Lake Arrowhead Village — just a 5-minute walk away.
There's always some festive going on here, and the shops are amazing too. What gal couldn't resist browsing through the Coach outlet or Harry & David?
There's a lakeside playground there for the kids, or you can head down to the dock for an hour-long tour aboard the Arrowhead Queen.
During your paddleboat cruise, you'll see native birds, majestic mountain peaks and perhaps a water-skier or two.
You'll also see some prime Lake Arrowhead real estate built by celebrities including Brian Wilson, Patrick Swayze and Herb Alpert — to name a few. These Lake Arrowhead luxury homes are simply amazing.
If you have time to spare, don't miss the Ice Castle International Training Center where Michelle Kwan trained to become an Olympic medalist. While the rink is clearly tailored to pros, it does offer recreational skating sessions several times a week for about $10.
With its tall pines, sparkling water and clean mountain air, Lake Arrowhead is a fantastic place to relax and revive.

Auburn Coach Wife Kristi Malzahn Agrees with Match & eHarmony: Men are Jerks
My advice is this: Settle! That's right. Don't worry about passion or intense connection. Don't nix a guy based on his annoying habit of yelling Bravo! in movie theaters. Overlook his halitosis or abysmal sense of aesthetics. Because if you want to have the infrastructure in place to have a family, settling is the way to go. Based on my observations, in fact, settling will probably make you happier in the long run, since many of those who marry with great expectations become more disillusioned with each passing year. (It's hard to maintain that level of zing when the conversation morphs into discussions about who's changing the diapers or balancing the checkbook.)
Obviously, I wasn't always an advocate of settling. In fact, it took not settling to make me realize that settling is the better option, and even though settling is a rampant phenomenon, talking about it in a positive light makes people profoundly uncomfortable. Whenever I make the case for settling, people look at me with creased brows of disapproval or frowns of disappointment, the way a child might look at an older sibling who just informed her that Jerry's Kids aren't going to walk, even if you send them money. It's not only politically incorrect to get behind settling, it's downright un-American. Our culture tells us to keep our eyes on the prize (while our mothers, who know better, tell us not to be so picky), and the theme of holding out for true love (whatever that is—look at the divorce rate) permeates our collective mentality.
Even situation comedies, starting in the 1970s with The Mary Tyler Moore Show and going all the way to Friends, feature endearing single women in the dating trenches, and there's supposed to be something romantic and even heroic about their search for true love. Of course, the crucial difference is that, whereas the earlier series begins after Mary has been jilted by her fiancé, the more modern-day Friends opens as Rachel Green leaves her nice-guy orthodontist fiancé at the altar simply because she isn't feeling it. But either way, in episode after episode, as both women continue to be unlucky in love, settling starts to look pretty darn appealing. Mary is supposed to be contentedly independent and fulfilled by her newsroom family, but in fact her life seems lonely. Are we to assume that at the end of the series, Mary, by then in her late 30s, found her soul mate after the lights in the newsroom went out and her work family was disbanded? If her experience was anything like mine or that of my single friends, it's unlikely.
And while Rachel and her supposed soul mate, Ross, finally get together (for the umpteenth time) in the finale of Friends, do we feel confident that she'll be happier with Ross than she would have been had she settled down with Barry, the orthodontist, 10 years earlier? She and Ross have passion but have never had long-term stability, and the fireworks she experiences with him but not with Barry might actually turn out to be a liability, given how many times their relationship has already gone up in flames. It's equally questionable whether Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, who cheated on her kindhearted and generous boyfriend, Aidan, only to end up with the more exciting but self-absorbed Mr. Big, will be better off in the framework of marriage and family. (Some time after the breakup, when Carrie ran into Aidan on the street, he was carrying his infant in a Baby Björn. Can anyone imagine Mr. Big walking around with a Björn?)
