I did a good deal of figure skating and took lessons when I was, oh, elementary and middle school aged. Enough to feel quite comfortable on the ice and if I remember correctly pick up quite a few levels of patches to sew on my skate bag and was almost up to trying jumps. Haven't done it a lot in years, though, and I may have lost my edge (to make a pun...). I gave myself a birthday present of taking myself to a rink about three weeks ago after not having been on the ice at all in years, though, and it felt really, really good.

That's neat that you took lessons! I always wanted to, but unfortunately, the only ice rink nearby is an outdoor rink that's only good for about three weeks out of the year. But I'll take what I can get! There?s just something about the smell of the rink and the sound of blades on ice that makes me go all sappy.

I really enjoyed the Worlds ladies competition! I?m so happy for Miki Ando! It has to be amazing to win the World Championships in front of a home crowd.
