Fun to get to know you. I’m a competitive adult figure skater! Started competing when I was 54. I can’t do without cheese OR chocolate.

Enjoyed the interview. Fun getting to know you better. Cool that you were a competitive figure skater — I skated too, but didn’t start until I was 11. Too old. Lived to skate though.
