I wonder if, because Maia was sick, they feel they have unfinished business, maybe. Regardless, I'm happy that Alex's hair is dark again. I didn't like that blonde. ;)

I'm happy that Maia is feeling this well. That's fantastic. I admit, I checked the date to make sure it wasn't April 1 when I read that they were coming back. That said, I think they may be able to be USA #3, and might place higher internationally than our current "below Chock and Bates"...

Happy new year! We don't really do anything for this holiday. I used to go to First Night when I lived in Boston, and that was pretty cool, but in New York, there tends to mostly only be "go to bars" or "go to Times Square" and neither of those things are at all appealing to me.

Solo dance is awesome. It's also a great way to keep people in the sport.
