Jason's total radio silence over the past week or so made me wonder if he had gotten across. Glad to hear that he did. It's all about the documentation. I think it will be harder to get over the border now with cases spiking all across the country. I was excited when I saw that article this morning!

I think Tracy and Brian and Jason will make good decisions on those.
It occurred to me that Jason is now cut off completely from his family. He doesn't dare to come back and they can't get across. I'm glad that they had that extended time together. And interested to hear that Jordan is working for the Cubbies! That's great!

Love that interview - thanks Katmari for posting it. Two SPs doesn't bother me because he'll probably use the short one if we have an abbreviated season and work on the long one if there's no season at all. Actually I think that's a very reasonable plan. Unlike some others, I don't want Jason to skate Schindler's List again. For me the awe and inspiration just wouldn't be there like it was this year when it was new. Except for landing a successfu quad, how could he improve on his performance? It was very nearly perfect! For me! Emphasize FOR ME so no one needs to come back and enumerate what little teensy flaws there might have been. I do think David Wilson is going to be uber-challanged, however, to find something that will stand up to or best SL. Come to think of it - make an exhibition program where just his beautiful skating is on display and the difficulty goes by the wayside. (just a thought)

And now we have the helpful hint to cross the border at Buffalo
My daughter lived in Buffalo for 6 years. She would go over on her bike to buy shampoo at Target and come back. And clearly, Skate Canada and Skate Ontario were influential. I'm glad he made it. It's time for him to get back on the ice.

Jason was named the winner of the 2020 Gustave Lussi award by the Professional Skaters Association:

(H/T to Ice Coverage for posting in the Alexa and Chris FF, as Chris was one of the nominees). I believe this award is for the (male) skater who best reflects the values of the organization? A quick Google search was not helpful:sad21: And I am almost positive this is the second time Jason has won.

Congrats to Jason! Yes, he also won in 2015 and appears to be the fourth skater to have won the award twice, the others being Scott Hamilton, Kurt Browning, and Charlie White.Jason was named the winner of the 2020 Gustave Lussi award by the Professional Skaters Association:

Apparently the PSA awards are nominated by the Directors for voting, but the Sonja Henie award and the Gustav Lussi awards are decided by the directors. Gracie Gold won the Sonja Henie award this year. Winners of these awards are quite the Who's Who! I remembered Jason winning it before. It's certainly well deserved!

The flagpole spiral! Since he is still in quarantine, it must be from last year.
Lots of idiots in my neighborhood setting off fireworks, I'd rather be isolating in Canada

Happy 4th to all! Hope there’s less fireworks where you are - it’s been nonstop where I am

I love Emma's comment, it's like when a whole family adopt you.

We had them also, last night. A friend in the Bronx said one of the fireworks in her neighborhood set a trash can on fire and nearly took out a car. She had to call 911.
