    Off Topic Anyone been to broadway shows?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a broadway show to see? (My family likes taking a train to the city) We have seen Wicked (Which was amazingly fantastically spectacular) and would see it again. Has anyone else seen shows, and would have ideas about where to go?

    WAG "Mind gym" Should be required reading

    I have had a history of mental toughness issues and fears, so my Mom bought me the book Mind gym.

    WAG What does your gym do to make your home meet special?

    My gym's home meet is a costume contest- pick a holiday and dress up. A superteam award is given out after the last session, counting the top 20 scores on each event. 3 points are awarded for winning best dressed and happiest team each session. What does your gym do?

    Have you experienced this?

    So, I'm at a meet, listening to the 15+ awards age group (There are not many girls) and they call a girl up from "unattached". I have heard that this is because they do high school as well?
