Moon music by Coldplay for a FD? :scream:

Zoueva is making sure Shpilband doesn't make it to the olympics this time! That is my konspiracy theory. :D

So the dates don't conflict with the head of the Charles anymore, and we can bring Skate America back to Boston at Agganis arena? 🙏

If you’re all sick of cannolis, Colette bakery has the best French pastries and coffees. 😉

A recent example would be Joel Embiid. He is a NBA star from Cameroon. He wrote a letter to Macron asking for French citizenship. The hope was that he would play for France in the Paris Olympics. He got the citizenship very quickly. Then, Team USA started recruiting him badly and he ended up...

Papadakis / Cizeron announce the end of their career: https://www.lequipe.fr/Patinage-artistique/Actualites/Gabriella-papadakis-et-guillaume-cizeron-champions-olympiques-de-patinage-artistique-annoncent-la-fin-de-leur-carriere/1524299 The words are: We have decided to turn the page. There is an...

Maybe they don’t want to compete with Cizeron and his new partner 😉 ( I am joking. Don’t want to cause panic attacks)

French Nationals are on December 19-21. That would be 5 weeks after the injury. He obviously isn't likely to be there.

Flores could team up with Gaidajenko and skate for Estonia. Stranger things have happened.

Doctor Arutyunyan will write a leave of absence letter: Dear Capital One, I am prescribing an intensive training protocol for 6 months with the family in California. PS: can you sponsor his training? I am not cheap. Love, Raf.

Some companies have family leave policies. He's taking a figure skating family leave. :)

I was at the garden last night for the Celtics game. My friend had a small purse and could not get in with it. She had to go back to her car to hide it. Not sure if they have stricter guidelines these days. The giant screen and the black not so comfortable seats are the major changes since...
