Marcelo drops in

Marcelo, our Brazilian Exchange Son, has a real passion for skateboarding. He practises all the time, and things don't come super-easy for him. He has a lot of tenacity and heart. I admire that in him. We are so glad he has come to live with us, and I love to skate with him.
if you feel tempted to write me something about safety or headgear, I'm not there with you. Talk to the football coach, whose students have a much higher rate of head injury with helmets ON. Skateboarding is surprisingly safe, appearances notwithstanding.

So this is THAT DAY in Marcelo's skateboarding career! The day he dropped in!
