I enjoy when we have actual competitions because we finally get to display everything we are capable of. At Glenwood Springs, we have a history of winning. Winning always feels good.

We were having one of those great first dates you can only have when it's not an actual date.

I got into Mock Trial because I really wanted to be an attorney when I was younger. If anything, it has reinforced it.

We've finally got into the sunshine and I want to enjoy it.

When you tear down a display, that's very counterproductive.

Not that they don't have wonderful skaters, but when I look at the results from some of the junior competitions, I'm not seeing the depth now that I used to see. So I have a question as to when this current crop of Russian skaters are finished whether they'll be as strong. Originally, the (Soviet) system was to assign a wonderful coach to perhaps one or two wonderful competitors and government would reimburse the coaches. Once that was removed, there was anticipation that this method wouldn't continue to produce any good skaters. So far it's been wrong. We'll see in the future.
