Oh my. Well. That explains THAT.

I think I've figured out why my cute teenage skating instructor turned out to be so unexpectedly good at teaching.

I had no idea, really. I suppose I should have suspected something when we kept having substitute teachers because Alex was out of town competing in something or other. I guess next week he'll be here.

And the first week that he missed a class he must have been here.

Very impressive! Also that he's able to translate those skills into teaching, which doesn't always happen. Looks like he's doing a good job of making the transition from junior to senior levels.

There used to be a lot more figure skating on TV, but there's hardly any the past few years, though there are ways to watch it on the Internet. I miss seeing all the parts of the Grand Prix, and Europeans, and U.S. Nationals, and Worlds...

Though my interest has waned some since they instituted the Code of Points scoring system -- all the routines look way too similar.
