From ladies to laughter, it’s available today

U.S. FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS

I'm not going to forget today.

If you are a fan of figure skating, here are the links to our coverage in today's paper. We had a story by Jeff Bunch on the junior ladies' championship, one on the first two parts of the ice dancing competition, and a feature on coach John Carroll, the dean of U.S. coaches. Jim Meehan also had a notebook.

If you are fan of laughter, here's a link to John Blanchette's column. Love skating or hate it or somewhere in between, this is worth reading just for the fun of it.

That's it for this morning on skating. I will be over at the Arena this afternoon with my impressions of the competition. My goal: sit through the entire juniors free dance.
