TGIF: Maia and Alex Shibutani's "Smile" and "Let's Face the Music and Dance" by Nat King Cole

Dear Readers,

Today is a glorious springlike afternoon in February. It's nearly 60 degrees, the sun is sparkling, and it's Friday. What more could one want?

How about some Maia and Alex Shibutani? This brother-and sister team's skating is as lovely, light and airy as today's mood.

This brother-and-sister team has plenty of charm to spare, but also some of the most fast, precise twizzles in the world. Amazing! In their first season on the senior level, they're a team on the rise. They finished an impressive second at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships last month, and second at this week's 4 Continents Championship in the company of some of the top skaters in the world. The Shibutani's finished behind their training mates, reigning Olympic and World silver medalists, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, in both events.

Maia and Alex are as smooth and pleasant as can be in their delightful frees dance to legendary Nat King Cole's classic songs, "Smile" and "Let's Face the Music and Dance."

I hope this engaging performance makes you smile!!
