I remember your impression of watching live event last fall being that figure skating was basically a sport rather than an art. So there was a very slight concern on my part that you might find Patrick disappointing too in person and not living up to hype and expectation. Ah, Patrick is indeed even more amazing live as experienced by many. I remember how he was instantly so special and standing out even with the likes of kurt and Jeff when I watched him in SOI.
And have I been proven right too about V/M's new programs being sure to progress and mature into the season? I'm glad too you enjoyed and were impressed by Nic, Eladj, Kaetlyn, et al to understand their appeal. Ah, and then there is the dreamboat Andrew. All in all, I believe you're happy to have gone to this Nationals, right?
It's been said often that, at life's end, a person only regrets what he has not done but not what he has done. You can tick one thing off your bucket list now.
there is only one last thing left on my bucket list.... watching northern lights.... (real ones.. i saw shimmers once but not a real show).
Regarding sport vs art...
Eternal debate... I think if I had to choose based on the majority, it would be sport... Patrick is just a very exceptional human being... I bet he could be a pizza maker and make it look and taste like the best pizza ever made... there is a sense of a quest for beyond and beyond with Patrick. In everything he does. There is purity and purpose... and well, purring too... this Cougar certainly was purring *
* nobody heard me purr though because SarahSynchro purrs louder... what can you do... She's a louder cougar
