So happy for you that work is passion you are paid for.i hear you... but my work is my passion so it's not really work i just do what i love and get paid for it
I guess I simplified my post above a bit too much I am preparing a bunch of young musicians right now but I am more or less done for the week... a few hours only tomorrow and i guess i could have managed with a very last minute flight to Toronto and manage to do most of my mentoring..... etc etc
figure skating is a passion but a lower ranked one... of course, it doesn't look like it considering how busy i am on this board LOL
PS I did take the needed time to see Patrick's 2017 Nationals including the beautiful new 4salchow of his... and i do not regret it...
i had also managed to free up most of the worlds 2020 week.. and was attending pretty much the whole event except for women's short...IIRC
BUT... covid killed that
Well... i made some choices in life I guess some good... some less good.. this one is in the good categorySo happy for you that work is passion you are paid for.
Congrats to you for this wise choice.Well... i made some choices in life I guess some good... some less good.. this one is in the good category
I hear you too. And I am in a different place in life. When I retired, I had to give up wilderness canoeing, home brewing, and fishing cause I lost all my free time. I love skating but compared to camping out 30 days a year, motorcycle touring, aircraft racing, and cruising, well, I go to the events I can. And now that one third of the Sierra Nevada forest is dead and my trees are dieing also, I have to spend lots of time killing trees so that others might live...and I dont burn to death in the middle of the night.....we all have to make choices with our passions....but as my old folks motorcycle touring web group says....dont put off things for ever that we have never done....like seeing MK win Nats....really work i just do what i love and get paid for it

Its like we are TWINS! So happy for Emily and Spencer.....At one point I was seriously considering going in person but wasn't able to swing it this year. Please cheer loudly for Yuhana on my behalf! (And Shoma, Deniss, Jimmy, Keegan, Camden, Miura/Kihara, Plazas/Fernandez, Chan/Howe, Green/Parsons etc)

I keep trying to find someone to pay me to watch figure skating, play video games, watch other sports....no luck so far.Well... i made some choices in life I guess some good... some less good.. this one is in the good category
When I retired I gained tons of free time and I loved it. The money not so much, but the time is awesome.I hear you too. And I am in a different place in life.

I heard that. I’m glad she realized her limit to prevent unnecessary injuries. But, thoughts like this, is what prevents athletes from realizing their full potential. I think 3A is an element that should be pushed more in the ladies field.CBC livestream is on. Kaetlyn is talking about Ravi wanting her to do the triple axel. She said that she went up to make her 2axel as big as possible to leave room for an extra revolution but it's a pretty scary jump and that's how far she would go... but now more and more women are trying it... etc.. warm up on the ice....
I think Kaetlyn realised enough of her potential. And for her, after the freak injury she had, it was a smart choice... on top of that, her competitors were not doing quads nor triple axelsI heard that. I’m glad she realized her limit to prevent unnecessary injuries. But, thoughts like this, is what prevents athletes from realizing their full potential.
