Land needs attention too!



Land is back. After that horrible leg snapping Land is skating better than ever. At the Grand Nationals for Concrete Rodeo in August at the new Battleground, WA. park, Land placed seventh overall with skaters from all over the nation. At that competition he was selected to compete at the Great Northwest Gromfest in Whistler, BC next July. If you go to gromfest.org there is a profile of Land. He also has a profile on bernunlimited.com as he is a team member for Bern Head Protection. He doesn't like me to say too much about his skating (Skate Mom is a derogatory term) but I thought it was fairly significant that psychologically he could come back from such a terrible injury in a relatively short amount of time.

It's Been A Long Time...


I thought I better join the 21st century and start blogging when it's not a requirement for a class! I am wide awake from consuming a load of caffeine as I experienced my first "aura" as a prelude to a nauseating migraine headache. A chunk of my eyesight went missing for a few hours and a vice-grip of pain took its place. The doctor told me to rest - so I went to the Cache Valley Wild vs. Sky View hockey game. The Wild did not come away with a win as we are always hoping, but it was anxiety free as Chase is graduated. They could have used his checking abilities tonight. Just for kicks I posted a picture of Chase in last year's state tournament.
