VIVID GAY MEMORY FROM CHILDHOOD: Went to see Homeward Bound and was obsessed with Sassy the cat. Made sure to focus during the credits to see who was the voice. Wrote it down in my diary when I got home. “Sally Field,” I wrote to myself, “She’s one to watch.”

This is the FINAL time I will explain the difference between ice dance and pairs. Ice dancers have wider, U-shaped snouts, while pair skater snouts are more pointed and V-shaped. Pair skaters prefer saltwater habitats, while ice dancers inhabit freshwater marshes and lakes.
