it says they may consider moving to Calif to be near Blessed Raf. but once done with school, better if he goes alone and not uproot the whole family-or they'd have to get diff. coaching jobs there, perhaps R. can get them in at Great Park

bet his sis won't be too happy if she has to leave her pals for all this and change schools

It said they’re unsure. I would hope he stays in NOVA. California is overrated a bit imo.

Also he likes physics?! I hated it in college lol. Biology all the way.

And....I'm probably going to go the one in Baltimore with two of my friends! 2023 is shaping out to be a fun year!

So I got the tickets and M&G pass for the Baltimore show. I'm going to knit Ilia a hat that has different shades of blue stripes. And in the middle, it'll have his name written in English and Cyrillic.

I was watching his SP on my phone while in an elevator, walking with with fiancé down the hall to his friend's apartment, and then being inside said apartment. And holy moly! I was going "YES!" when he was landing elements. I still like his SP from last season better, but I feel like he's finally getting this SP. I was a bit nervous when I saw that he was still using that SP. But he proved me wrong in a good way.

Indeed, we get a lot trolls and spammers on twitter too

Bittersweet. He won but it was not the cleanest skate. But there's still time before 4CC and Worlds. Hopefully he can clean some stuff up. Maybe chill out on the shows until after Worlds.

Big Congrats to Ilia and a well deserved win. Working with SL Bourne was a good idea.

Kudos to all the medalists.
