Awww thanks! (I'm trying hard not to disagree with you, LOL).

BTW do you know if they are going to do it this year?

I haven't heard whether the Aston seminar for adult skaters will be done again this year. The Ice Works FSC web site doesn't mention anything. Maybe starskate 6.0 or hippo know?

Yeah, "The Titanic" is a good name for it--he dropped me on the kitchen floor the first time, so we moved to the carpet in the bedroom and he dropped me there too.....

So, it will be some time before we can do it on ice (not as soft as carpeting!)
It's cool, though and we can't wait to do properly, probably in the fall (need to talk to the pairs coach)

RE: Edge Workshop
I hope they do it again!!! We had such a good time last year, even though we didn't participate in everything (and hubby didn't participate at all). So we are planning on attending, (hubby and daughter also).

Reminds me of the first lift we had, and the Husband kept dropping me on the ice (he still does, occasionally, but I usually land on my feet these days - back then, I tended to end up rolling on the ice), and the coach saw us and all he said was, "I'm so glad to see you two are pushing your boundaries a bit!" Husband hasn't dared try our latest lift on the ice yet; I hope we will on Tuesday. Mind you, there is no way in the universe I could ever get my blade to touch my head, the way the elites have to.... not even sure I could actually grab my blade! Might try, though - anything to stop me looking like a sack of potatoes.... I was so disappointed when I saw a snap of us!

Don't forget that the first rule of ice dance is that, whatever happens, it's always the man's fault.

Isn't it always his fault-in anything???

Have fun with your lift! I can barely grab my blade but it isn't pretty
