Book Description
Never in a million years did lean, muscled, competitive figure skater Garry Windsor imagine he’d sink this low—performing nightly in “Gold on Ice,” a glittery, gaudy, touring ice-skating show. Maybe if he hadn’t fallen on his adorable buns with each attempted quad jump during his one-shot Olympic program, he be beaming from a cereal box. Garry’s only consolation in the world of theme park tacky is his best friend and fellow skater Jay Logan. When the two aren’t gyrating on the ice, they’re scorching the sheets at every Motel 6 with their male fans, dreaming of rich husbands and life without the soulless frostbite of pro skating. When the troupe lands at a local rink in boring Clarksville, Missouri, the guys think they’ve hit an all-time low… until they meet a gorgeous eighteen-year-old fan of the first order: Tag Tempkin. Projecting a demeanor of sweet innocence, the novice skater shyly takes to the ice under Jay and Garry’s prodding and executes a dazzling, flawless performance. Impressed with his skating—and his spandex—Jay and Garry push their producer to add him to the show, while both men pursue him in bed where Tag demonstrates talents that could win him gold in a whole new category of competition. Faster than they can say Eve Harrington on steroids, Garry and Jay watch in horrified amazement as their protégé steps over their beautiful bodies and claws his way to the top. But this isn’t Garry and Jay’s first time at the ice-skating rodeo, and they have a thing or two to teach Miss Manipulation about getting even. Using everything and everyone at their disposal—from cheap tricks to some of the most gorgeously sculpted bait on the planet—Garry and Jay concoct a delicious plan of revenge that will pull the sequins off a certain skater’s goody-goody act and show the world All About Tag…

Author: Tom Russo
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1625859686

Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
By 1950, roller skating had emerged as the number-one participatory sport in America. Ironically, the war years launched the Golden Age of Roller Skating. Soldiers serving overseas pleaded for skates along with their usual requests for cigarettes and letters from home. Stateside, skating uplifted morale and kept war factory workers exercising. By the end of the decade, five thousand rinks operated across the country. Its epicenter: Chicago! And no one was left behind! The Blink Bats, a group of Braille Center skaters, held their own at the huge Broadway Armory rink. Meanwhile, the Swank drew South Side crowds to its knee-action floor and stocked jukebox. Eighteen celebrated rinks are now gone, but rinks that remain honor the traditions of the sport's glory years. Author Tom Russo scoured newspaper archives and interviewed skaters of the roller capital's heyday to reveal the enduring legacy of Chicago's rink rats.

The Pocket-Size God
Author: Robert F. Griffin C.S.C.
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268080828
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Fr. Robert Griffin, C.S.C. (1925–1999), was a beloved member of the Notre Dame community. With his cocker spaniel, Darby O’Gill, he was instantly recognizable on campus. He was well known for his priestly work counseling students as university chaplain for thirty years, his summer ministry to the homeless and parishioners in New York City, and his weekly columns in the student newspaper, The Observer, in which he invited the campus community to reflect with him on the challenges and joys of being Catholic in a time of enormous social and religious change. This collection draws together essays that Griffin wrote for Notre Dame Magazine between 1972 and 1994. In them, he considers many of the challenges that beset church and campus, such as the laicization of priests, premarital sex, the erosion of institutional authority, intolerance toward gay people, and failure of fidelity to the teachings of the church. Griffin also ruminates on the distress that human beings experience in the ordinariness of their lives—the difficulty of communication in families, grief over the loss of family and friends, the agonies of isolation, and the need for forgiveness. Griffin’s shrewd insights still ring true for people today. His efforts to temper the winds of institutional rules, cultural change, and personal suffering reveal a mind keenly attuned to the need for understanding human limitations and to the presence of grace in times of change. Griffin quotes from the works of literary modernists, such as Fitzgerald and Hemingway, whose novels and short stories he loved; in these allusions and in his own reflections and experiences, Griffin bridges the spiritual and the secular and offers hope for reconciliation and comfort.
