I spent the morning at the Spokane Arena at the US Figure Skating Championships. They are being held in Spokane again this year and they will decide who goes to the Olympics in Vancouver next month.
My friend Jennifer won two tickets and invited me to go with her. This morning was the junior men's event, which was just about our speed. We were in the second row, right down on the ice, and it was really exciting.
Remember this name: Max Aaron. He was spectacularly good, enough so that even Jennifer and I could tell he was a star.
But to be perfectly honest the biggest treat was the Zamboni machine.
