Happy Halloween from the wall. Scariest thing I saw at the rink this month: the ice resurfacer coming round the corner while I was still out there. I moved very fast, for me. Which is not fast. everyrink.com/nashville

Is it open yet? I ask every morning. Not yet: Pinetop Ice Rink at Gaylord Opryland opens Nov 6. I've written the date on my calendar, my hand and the wall. From the rink's own page, checked Oct 21. everyrink.com/nashville #PipOnIce

The four stages of public skate: terror, hope, hubris, cocoa. I skip straight from terror to cocoa. Very efficient. Which stage are you at? everyrink.com/nashville #PipOnIce

Hi, I'm Pip. I'm a penguin and I can't skate worth a darn. 🐧

I do know when every rink in Nashville has public skate, stick & puck and freestyle ice, so I've decided that's my job. everyrink.com/nashville #PipOnIce
