It was so nice to see Elizabeth manly again and I surfed off the interview to watch her free skate from the Calgary Olympics. What a wonderful skate. To see her that happy at the end of it just does my heart good.

Glad you enjoyed the interview and your "surfing" back to 1988, Fred. That's one of the nice things about going to something skating-related on YouTube - you never know what linked videos are going to be suggested

As noted above, PJ talked to Roman Sadovsky on Tuesday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0KhW3a3FEM

Today's chat with Evelyn Walsh & Trennt Michaud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhYt2_3G3tY

Tuesday it will be Elladj Balde's turn.

On this "Blackout Tuesday" - a time for silence and reflection, PJ & Elladj have agreed to reschedule their planned live chat for today.

Earlier this evening, PJ talked to Kirsten and Michael again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lYrVwMKOl0

Skate Ontario, under the provincial public health regulations, is now allowing a certain level of skaters to return to the ice - 5 skaters or 4 skaters plus a coach. Kirsten & Michael are only allowed to skate "singles" for now and are doing so about 1 hour a day.

Today's chat was with Andrew Poje: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp4_UPXvbmg
He has just achieved his degree in biomedical sciences and will be starting a masters program through Queens in the fall.

Thursday's chat with be with Eric Radford. It is scheduled for 11 a.m. on PJ's Facebook & YouTube channels.

Yesterday PJ chatted live with Paul Peret from France - as she said -

whose CV reads like this: (Dep.Editor in Chief) @francetvsport "Producer" Patinage-Athlétisme, "Press Officer" 8 ISU events (WC/EC/4CC/GPF/JWC).

It was a very interesting chat with some "blasts from the past" being mentioned. I hope PJ invites him back again!!

You long-time fans will remember Anthony's parents who competed for another country. Christina, a Canadian, is not yet an American citizen.

Here are some of the latest photos of Meagan & Bruno's 8 month old daughter from Meagan's twitter - the one with Bruno was on Father's Day:

Great photos and it looks like someone is a Montreal Canadians fan. YAY!

Here's the video of PJ's chat with Meaghan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulWyPYuANGQ

Yesterday afternoon a live-streamed chat on Facebook was scheduled between PJ, Debbi Wilkes and Ryan Stevens (SkateGuard) - unfortunately there were technology challenges and Debbi ended up only being able to join in via typed comments, not the stream. The video has not yet been uploaded to YouTube but will likely be added today.

Yesterday I was in the midst of watching Pj chatting with coach Doug Haw, having had a tour of some of the art in his home, when my laptop took a "seizure" and shut itself down. It was supposed to restart itself but it wasn't able to (after two tries) and I wasn't able to do so either. Off to "the shop" it went and I'm now limited to the mini-computer, with mini-keyboard, and mini-mouse. I cannot work on my genealogy, etc. I may not have a new fully functioning laptop until the end of the month

Anyway, the video of the chat, where they too had some technology challenges, is now up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfved3XYtVY

Tomorrow PJ will be chatting with Elladj Balde @ 3 p.m. EDT and next Tuesday it will be Brian Orser & Tracy Wilson.
