She Loves You -- the Beatles (actually, it was Paul's song, and it was a cool idea, writing from the third person...)

I just re-read my copy of Adam Rippon's memoir, Beautiful on the Outside. I pretty much laughed on every page; it's a very fun read, and he's funny, but not mean to anyone. One of his running jokes throughout the book is tallying up how many Russian coaches have called him fat. Starting when...

ABBA - Mamma Mia (I/We could go on all day :))

And ultimately, you weren't wrong! :cool: I just read your post from p. 3 today and found your comments about the availability of rink ice, etc. interesting. Also I just read the interview of Megan and learned that she'd been coaching from the Aston rink.

Me too, on both counts. (this is of course about Chelsea Liu.) People are always complaining that USFS didn't take a stronger hand in making or breaking or manipulating our pairs skaters ... but what if USFS has been on the better side for all these years? What if the better attitude is...
