Can I "switch hit" ?

At least you HAVE guys! There is only 1 "mature" gentleman among all the different clubs I skate with.

Living in the desert now - having moved from western New York 18 months ago - I get lots of weird looks when people find out I'm a figure skater.

When I first started my job, my boss introduced me to the board of directors of the children's research center. He told them I was an "international figure skater." It's hard to correct people about that..

During the last Olympics, I was called by one of my physician colleagues. He called through our referral line, so the operator stays on the line in case we need help arranging patient transfers. His question to me was (right after Michelle withdrew),"did they call you from Italy yet?" My immediate smart-aleck response was "They did, but I'm on call, so I told them to let Emily go instead, particularly since I've been having some trouble with my triple-triple combination." We laughed hard wondering what the operator was thinking of our conversation.

Then, I was on rounds with several residents, a couple of nurses and our social worker. One mom said,"I have a question for you." I thought she was going to ask something serious about her daughter's leukemia. Instead, she asked, "SO, do you wear boxers or a thong under those skimpy skating dresses??" Too much information.......

Some of my non-skating friends saw my move video clips and always came up with "I expect to see triple axels!". Don't I wish I could be Kimmie, Mao or Yu-na Kim? I just politely reply, bring yourself to come skating with me. I will show you the theory of doing it!
