"I tell them that actually figure skating is an extreme sport, it's tougher than hockey," said Laraque, after catching his breath during a training session with his skating partner in the Montreal suburb of Ste-Julie. "Figure skaters are mentally and physically much tougher than many athletes."

~ Georges Laraque, Canadian hockey player turned figure skater

Which Way??


Bob M, did you find your sweet tea? Erin W knows where it is! . . . The wild adventures of Liz, Kelly, and Jessica continue as they went on a wild rampage to collect a forgotten dress bag (on a plane leaving in 5 minutes). . . yes, they got it . . . Merry N reports: “Skating peeps: when driving to the rink on UT-186 there is NO sign for Guardsman Way. Rather turn onto the street called 1580. The rink isn't labeled but it's attached to the Steiner Aquatics Center”. THANKS Mer!  . . . speaking of directions . . . Salt Lake’s unique street numbering system is bound to confuse some/most/all of us?? On the globe zero-point is just south of Ghana off the West African Coast. In Salt Lake City, it’s at Temple Square. All addresses have coordinates telling how far east or west and how far north or south they are from Temple Square. Maybe this will help
