I consider anyone who is older than Jason by a lot to be on Cougar status, LOL. Anyway, auntie fans is probably more PG for these boards.
I was watching him at practice in Boston and I sat next to this local family (they were from Cambridge, to be more precise). They weren't figure skating fans, but just decided to attend practice as a Saturday morning family activity. Anyway, they LOVED Jason! I mean it was just a practice and people were going wild for him! The father taped his Riverdance run through, which he later sent to me...and it was amazing how captivating that performance was even though it was just a practice!!

This was from when he was at Trophee Eric Bompard before all the viral craziness... The french audience LOVED him.
Yes, one of the biggest surprises for me of the Grand Prix selections was that Jason is not going back to TEB. I think that's a mistake on the part of the USFSA.
I had a friend in college just like Jason--bubbly and happy pretty much all the time. A real energy-giver of a person: she'd just walk into a room and the whole energy level/general atmosphere would just lift. It's really a gift from the heavens. And he does look more filled out this year. Not so gangly barely post-adolescent. I wonder if he has been lifting weights on a more regular basis. It looks like he's added muscle mass.
