—boomf. I tossed the current pair of jeans-that-fit into the wash, and substituted the light rayon baggy track pants that look like hell. Worse, I tried to skate in them. Funny thing. You wear tight jeans on the ice, you get a sense of support for your muscles. You wear light stuff, no support, and [...]

OSG says don’t trust February, but it’s been generally trending warmer. Mmm. We have seen fishes: Ari and Maddy, Ishida, maybe Grant, and a couple of the orange ones, which we can’t see well enough. We have 11 of them, and they shift about a bit. But they’re staying under cover, near their bottom heater. [...] Yesterday, the men’s finals…quite a battle. When you have 5 serious contenders it’s a battle; and both Jane and I favor the men’s events because the athletics are spectacular, and, well, the scenery is always good. The standing ovation of the night went to Ryan Bradley, whose dandified comedy routine brought down the house. Ryan [...] They’ve got an innovation on this year’s Nationals, which is a sound track I wish they’d put as an alternate to the commentary on every network: they handed out 4000 little radios with a low, near monotone ‘call’ of the moves, level, and points…including ‘count’ on the sustained elements like spins and rotations—for instance, you have [...] Yesterday we lost one of our friends from the rink…expected, but not that fast. We went to the hospital, but it was too late to say goodbye; and skating today—none of us were in top form. Today—Jane’s blogsite got hacked, and some people see ads and we don’t. If you can report on what you [...] The world is turning round to a new year…2009 is in the books and we have all 2010 before us! We’ll be starting it off with the US figure skating Nationals, here in Spokane, and doing some traveling and getting ourselves back on the ice, and back in shape—we’ve worked a lot at the computer, [...] We have spent the day trying to untangle the tentacles of MS Word from 4 relatively small files I thought I would run a fast conversion on. Wrong. Use Word Perfect. It produces actual HTML that we can convert. It does not scatter 3 lines of code into a document to produce one singe 1/m dash. Sheesh! What [...] Kids are still out of school, or at least some are, which means terror on the ice…I love the little princess who spent most of her time digging her toepick into the ice near the wall, so that an unsuspecting novice can fall and break his/her neck, but hey, ice is never perfect. It used [...] We went back to the rink today, trying to get our feet under us: again, pretty good: my sense of balance isn’t shot, but it’s kinda wobbly—instinct recovers when I let a foot drift ahead, and the leg strength is there, to yank that straying foot back under me. But the really weird thing: I’m [...] |
