Finally getting on after picking up this monster PC at Staples. I told Robert the tech guy, when I went to pick it up and he explained some stuff to me, that I love him! (He's young enough to be my grandson.)
So, now I will try to catch up! AND I can see the video where Maks talks about the switch-up week. Isn't that the one where someone asked at the beginning if Meryl would dance with Val if they have an all-stars season and Maks said, "No". It starts at the very beginning but that isn't there. Am I looking on the wrong video for that?

that's it the vid just starts right at the no so it's hard to hear..

Thanks, April.

Maybe she is campaining DWTS for these besties:

let's hope so....we need Johnny on there!!...and Tara too....they could put Tara with Val

And who would be paired with Johnny? (Bruno should turn Pro; they could be the first man/man pair.) I read an article about these two that was quite complimentary, about how they are great at being commentators during ice shows. Seems that Johnny is quite knowledgeable and says all the correct things about technique, etc.

Just love this analysis, Jet.   Sometimes going away to college is the thing that helps you break out of the mold you grew up in.  It also gives you time to grow up which gives you more confidence, perhaps, and more fortitude to take the more challenging,more dangerous, and ultimately more fulfilling path.   But, as you said, Meryl did not really go away to college, and she always had the bubble of skating and her family and Charlie's.  

And yet her family does seem supportive.   After all, they did go to SWAY.  I'm sure they've been photographed and interviewed throughout her career, but that was all to support her.   Going to SWAY was Maks' world, and his family and friends, and she wasn't even there.  They let themselves be photographed, knowing that it would be talked about, although I don't think I've seen any photos with Maks or any of his family.    I think that says that they support her in whatever she's exploring.   I'm sure they've seen the "glow" and changes even more than we have.   

I know I went off and married a man I hadn't known for very long, who spoke another language, who came from another world.   My very quiet, Midwestern parents who only ever ventured out of the Midwest to visit me on my study abroad, were probably very concerned.   But all they ever said to me was "You're 3x7."   (I was 25).      They knew, as I'm sure that Meryl's family knows, that it has to be her decision for any of it to work.  

But I'm also sure that they have been even more impressed with Maks that we have.   And not just because he is mind-bogglingly beautiful.   I never believed the DWTS bad boy stuff.   He is close to so many of his past partners, to Karina & Kate & Erin whom he dated, to all the members of the fam and his students.   I always liked the fact that he defended his partners and spoke up when the judges were penalizing his partner for something he did.   I think he is really an old-fashioned gentleman, remarkably unspoiled by the effect his physical presence has on women, and quite aware of the effect he can have on men and women.   Just as Meryl disarmed him with ther quiet presence, I think he disarmed her with his honesty and intelligence and humor and consideration that had nothing to do with how he looked.   Nurturing, I mean really?   How many of us could have seen that coming?

I've got to get back to work!  But it always makes a pleasant break to talk about M&M.

Totally agree with you, Tango. Great observation and insight! Are you in the Maksology class; if so, you will make an "A+". 
 

I am certainly in the Maksology class.  (I'll leave Valology to others.)  Do you think I could be the teacher's aide?   I'd really like to be the teacher's pet. 
 

Wouldn't we all?!!!

How long does it take to fly from Michigan to LA?  Are we sure Maks is in Hawaii?  Maybe, they are both in LA?  I wish the tumblr girls could have tracked down that tweet and got more info. 


It looks like we are playing were in the world is Meryl and Maks again.

Like wheres Waldo only harder....LOL

If we could only have a GPS system chip inserted into Maks and Meryl -- the kind that will track them by satellite!!
