work on a project I have going on about folk OD's with an anthropologist friend of mine
moderate Golden Skate
Go to Liberty, take films of the new programs, and share them
Figure out how to afford to go to Nationals
Finish cleaning up the mess in my cellar caused by being flooded to a depth of 3 and one half feet in the recent floods in CT
Do some reading.
Do some sailing.
Try to make it to Lake Placid International Dance Competition to see what the skaters are coming up with to compete under these crazy new rules that the ISU is supposed to pass in June (I don't know how the kids will get ready that fast, I really don't)

Funny you say that. I recorded Olympic Games in VCR and when I put FIGURE SKATING only into DVD, I shrunk 8 hr tape into 2 hr!
I think this is much more productive than you tubing. There is so many negative stuff there about figure skaters, in video and comments. Thank GOD GS monitors posts and no obscene language allowed. Thank you GS and all the posters for talking about figure skating all the time even if I don't agree with you all the time !!!

Go to the arena, watch my kids skate; look at photo galleries of last year with my DD to help design a new skating costume; watch youtube and other skating videos with DS and DD to show them really neat spins and stuff to add into their programs ... pay the coaches bills and all of the other costs associated with being a skating parent ... recognize that summer doesn't mean VACATION it means MORE TIME TO TRAIN AND SKATE ... sigh.

Good luck, CdnSkateWatcher! And have a wonderful time! Figure skating future needs the skating moms like you.
:agree:Clearly, I have to attend make-up classes at YouTube University so I can understand more about the subtleties of skating technique. Some of you guys leave me in the dust when it comes to understanding of jump layouts and approaches and whatnot. Maybe by then the ISU will let the Olympic programs be posted, so I can watch the sublime final flight of the ladies again, and Virtue and Moir's Mahler final, and Shen and Zhao's short program, and Takahashi's and Lambiel's short programs, and...

Complaining about how long is the off-season. Nothing more. :disapp:
Speaking of YouTube university...
The nice folks at the Italian tv station posted all the highlights of the World championships here: http://www.youtube.com/user/LaRiservaSkating2#p/p/A703AF3C8A135493/21/cgSfNuhNESI
If you can take the chatter, it's actually really good stuff.
YESSSSSSS Let us start a campaign to allow Oly performances on You Tube. It's nuts we can't post those. SO many of 2010 Olympic programs are worth watching over and over and it's so much easier to watch on You Tube than lugging DVD's around.
I bought a $150 Toshiba VCR and DVD player machine and it does dubbing. I bought it at a local store called Audiotronics in Canada, which is similar to Source or Radio Shack in the US. Best Buy (do you have those in the US? ) should have them too.
Yes we have Best Buy! Hey the Best Buy in my town used to be a Future Shop! I know that's way off topic, but I thought you would appreciate that Canadian trivia question.
