Yes and he Is gracious and humble. He signed my flag and every time I waved It he put his hand over his heart.
This was probably a better idea than Canadian Nationals where I’d see him skate but never get near him.

Awww I'm so glad you got to meet him - and that he acknowledged you waving his flag!
But...uh...how does Jimmy feel about this?

Keegan is already married to a wonderful woman who likes to hike and climb mountains and such. And she’s given him two children

You know...after I wrote that I was like duh, Keegan's married. So Jimmy knows all's good!Keegan is already married to a wonderful woman who likes to hike and climb mountains and such. And she’s given him two children
All kidding aside, I think it's amazing that you drove 10 hours to see him. I also have some mobility issues and find travel challenging and exhausting, so I'm sure that wasn't easy. I'm really glad you had a great time!

...youtube knows you so well that along with all the elite skating and shows, it suggests obscure livestreams like the NSW championship and OZO Autumn Cup (which I have never heard of but there is a tiny girl currently skating in pink and green spangled with large silver stars a tiara and she is minding her steps so earnestly, I think she deserves a bit of my day, yes...)
And every time they suggest, you click on to see what it's like.

Because It is not the easiest thing in the world to travel I always make the most of it and have a great time!

Although I get so annoyed when they show a strip of suggestions and there are three that look interesting. So I click on one, and while I watch it, they change the suggestions and I can't find the other two I wanted to see.

When I get more than one YT recommendation I want to watch, I right click on them to open each one in a separate tab. Then I go through each tab to make sure it's paused. Then go back and watch them one by one.

... when the Friday before a Grand Prix your colleagues ask you for a quick rundown of all 4 disciplines
... when you smile when you see that there is commentary in your native language.....
... and when you get irrationally angry at the commentator when they make very obvious mistakes on the background for some skaters
(To anyone curious, examples: saying baby Mao is also a senior this year in a throwaway comment, when praising on Jia's 4 junior silvers; equating Haein's Challenger win to Chaeyeon and saying Chaeyeon has an inconsistent season with a 1st and 12th places...)

When a friend wants to buy a ridiculously expensive Winnie the Pooh outfit for her baby and you try to talk her out of it because baby will outgrow it in less than 6 months.
That is, until she tells you that the outfit is...wait for it...a skating dress!

When you find videos of Keegan's new programs uploaded by Moonvine, and you know who that is. Thanks so much, @moonvine!
