backwards, blade-first

[jay]

Tonight in my skating lesson I learned two new maneuvers, as well as how to be more graceful ;). The former... I learned how to do a "choctaw", going from a forward inside edge to a backward outside edge. And how to do a backwards arabesque or spiral... gliding parallel to the ice, leg and torso extended, in this case blade-first.

Otherwise... David had a successful audition for a boy's choir (Ragazzi, suggested by coyote3502 back in November). It is expensive, and he's a bit old to start (only 2 years before his voice changes) but he loves to sing...

And work has been intense.

I'm glad that worked out well for him. I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to have Maddie audition for Girl's chorus. I know I can't afford it any better than Sarah's ballet but the girl can sing and hold a tune well at this age. Of course, she *also* needs ballet. In some ways she's better than Sarah though I won't tell Sarah that.

Anyway, enough of my stuff. Yeah yeah yeah on David!!!!!
