Auld Lang Syne

I skated.

By definition that means I put on my skates and took to the ice.

I have not been around much lately but alas I am still here. I really hope to get more ice time in 2019.

On The Edge... Again

The last time I skated regularly, you needed 2 pair of skates, a scribe and skated patch. Triple jumps were almost unheard of, so were Bielman spins. Twizzles were only done by ice dancers and Ronald Regan was just elected into office.

Fast Forward 32 years. Starting January 2, 2012, I am back on the ice doing something else that was unheard of .... Adult Figure Skating. We had "coffee club", which was like adult swim, but there was no opportunity for testing or competition.

Update 2026. It has now been 14 years since I began adult skating. I have not competed in Freestyle since 2016. I’m focused on ice dance now. Last dance competition was 2022 Pacific Coast Sectionals in Juvenille Free Dance. Somehow this blog is still going. My YouTube channel has over 2.05k subscribers. Not much by today’s content creators standards, but it still amazes me anyone is watching my skating. That’s just crazy!
