Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel---Tavares

Bumping up this thread because it was hard to find. Carry on with the upcoming season's pairs talk.

This was in the Thoroughbred Racing thread but I decided to post it here. Ron Turcotte, the jockey who rode Secretariat to the triple crown in 1973, passed away two days ago. RIP, Mr. Turcotte.

Okay, in these nonsensical real life political times, @AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) makes me laugh with his sense of humor and fun. (And you can always not respond when he goes a teensy weensy overboard.)

When I was really really young I had a crush on Michael Landon when he was on Bonanza. By the time of Little House on the Prairie I forgot about Landon; I was still stuck on Paul McCartney...

I remember Bobby Sherman from "Here Come the Brides" Though I wouldn't say his songs were terrible, they were okay for the times, he had a good voice and was handsome. RIP

Well to sum up my thoughts, the people who say ice dance judging can be political, contrary and nonsensical are right. But at least for the next Olympics ice dance won't be kicked out of the Olympics so I'm going to deal with what is not what should be (kind of like the team event) Since this is...
