One Year Ago

I started the blog. Yup, it's Ice Charades birthday.

And that's no April Fool's joke.

I want to thank everyone for the encouragement and nice responses.

I wish I had time to savor the cake and champagne (and now I can feel free to have that stuff - no weigh-ins) but I'm leaving on vacation this morning. I'll try to post when/where I can, but no promises.

Once I return, I've got new exciting ideas to try to keep you entertained during the downtime in competitive skating. Is there a downtime?

Today, I can leave you with an April Fool's joke I found pretty funny. If memory serves, one day Lisa Marie Allen told everyone in the middle of a rehearsal that she lost her contact lens on the ice. All the skaters were down on hands and knees feeling the ice for that little critter when she stood up and yelled "April Fools".

Feel free to use that one.
