Figure Skating's Living Legends


My sister-in-law, Dawn, and I donned our skates in Montana on the frozen pond near Lindsay's parents' home. I wanted to share with you what I can only call figure skating magic...pure magic on ice.

Wow. Really just wow. There are no words.

That brought tears to my eyes. Real tears.

Such talent. Such drama. Amazing.

You had me at that little jump, about 1:50 into it. Was that a Single Cow Sow? Killer.

My friends,

Thank you for your kind words. I know that with you there is not a scintilla of sarcasm.......

Come to think of it, Nate's and James' statements are actually a bit cryptic...maybe it's not praise...hmm.

Anyhow, Jason, I think technically a sow cow is approached by skating backwards). Since I was skating forwards, I would call my jump a reverse single sow cow, to be precise. Glad you liked it!

p.s. I think my greatest technical move is the one around 25 to 27 sec.

You are so fun, Tom. I always look forward to a new post on your blog. And then I always get to share it with Scott and enjoy it a second time. Wow!
Congratulations on your new little blessing in the Regan family! How beautiful new life is! Please say "Hi" to Lindsay from me. I miss you both and the joy we had during our Willamette days. God is so good to us.
Blessings,
Heather

After watching that, I feel like I can stand on mountains. Like I can walk on stormy seas.

I'm at my strongest when I stand on your shoulders, Tom.

We wish we'd seen this when it was posted a month ago. I feel like I missed out on a month of laughs.
