Happy birthday, Mel!
I started reading Mel‘s blog because I am a fan of figure skating. Since I began reading her blog, I’ve followed her exploits on Twitter and we engage in really fun conversations. That’s one of the key requirements for me to have followers and to follow someone on Twitter – enjoy the conversation in and of itself. Even if I don’t follow someone back, I do make an effort to talk to my followers, simply because it is great to be followed!
I think Mel was in Vancouver in January for Canadian (Skate Canada) championships, and I regret that I didn’t know her by then as I would have gladly scooted my way to the PNE to meet her in person and show her around Vancouver. *sigh*
Anyway, recently I asked my Twitter friends for their birthdays and coincidentally, Mel’s is on June 9th. So I just thought I’d say, Happy Birthday Mel! I look forward to hearing what you did for such a special day.

Thank you so much! I hope that another skating event will bring me back to Vancouver some time in the next year, so there’s still a chance to show me around. I was so busy during Canadians that I didn’t have time to see much of the city, besides one day downtown at the beginning of the week.
