Thanks Alabhaois. From the music and the positions, Riverdance still exists for shows, even while Jason practices Tristan & Iseult.
And, completely OT, I had no idea it got that hot in Idaho! #EastCoastGirl
I think that Washington state has the best overall climate-- great for people like me who don't like the heat! It's beautiful and green all year. I know it rains in the summer but that would be OK with me--- it never rains in Calif. in the summer, but then, we have that dry heat, which is a blessing, so I've heard. As you might have figured out, summer is NOT my favourite season.
Washington state has several different climate zones. You are mainly talking about the Western side of the state (or West of the Cascade mountains). The frequent rain actually comes during the winter months. Summer's actually a lovely time of year for Western Washington.
Then you have the Olympia Peninsula (home to Twilight!) which is more of a rain forest, so it rains A LOT.
I live on the Eastern, more inland side of the state. It definitely gets hot here! But it's dried heat. But then there's a patch of E. Washington that has a rainy season -- that's where all the wheat grows.
And of course, the mountains, which has its own weather patterns.
I have a close friend who lives in Seattle and last time I visited, we went out on his boat (small but sturdy) and had a marvellous time. I wouldn't live anywhere other than the SF Bay Area, though. I think this state has everything (mountains, ocean, forests, etc.), except swamps. Which is OK with me. I do love the west coast!
I have never been to the Bay Area. It's on my to-visit list. I have quite a few friends there. I've visited Los Angeles and the Northern part of California near the Oregon border (Crescent City, etc).
Those name suggestions were by golden as well - she's got a real Gift! (I'm so bad at that kind of thing that I'm positively envious of it - but all in a good way. ) Of those my favourite was "Brownmancers".
Of this batch I really liked Brownstigators - it sounds so... cool.
The long program is referred to as "LP" or also as the free skate or "FS".
Sometimes LP is used because FS is also short for 'figure skating'.
But it's usually pretty obvious from the context when the author means Figure and when she means Free
