Greetings from Vancouver!
Michael sends his thoughts of the day

Hi Everyone!
Things are great here in Vancouver!  I skated my long program tonight and skated pretty good.  I got a score of 83.30, a personal best for me.  I am now in 10th place overall.

Wow, and wasn't that an exciting senior men's competition yesterday.  You should have heard the crowd, it was an unbelievable sound.  I walked into the arena for my practice just as Patrick Chan skated off.  What an exciting week this has been.  Can't wait to see you all and thank you for all your support and encouragement.  You guys are the best!

Hi everyone, I am having a great time. It raining hard here in Vancouver though. Oh ya, way to go guys I here you had an awesome competition this past weekend.  I hope you all had fun and skated your best. Be proud.  Today at practice, I was practicing with Kevin Reynolds and he landed 2 quads. One was a Quad sow triple toe and one was a quad toe triple toe. It was awesome.  I skated twice today at the Pacific Coliseum. Things are going pretty good, my practices have been not to bad. I am getting excited for tomorrow.
Well its time to catch my bus to meet up with the gang to eat. You know me i cant miss my food.
 
Talk to you all soon!

Hi there to all my friends back home! It's Raining here in Vancouver and it is about 11 degrees. Not to bad. We did a run today in shorts and t-shirts. I practiced today in the arena where the Canucks practice. I had a good practice. It was also pretty cool to be on the ice with Kevin Reynolds, Mira Leung and Jeremy Yen. Talk to you Wednesday, gotta go eat!
