It does seem so! I'm just so happy that he's enjoying life now and is really enjoying training. I think USFS is happy to see him back. He' fun, he's exciting and he's consistent. Now I'm really looking forward to Nats!

Well, you were wrong. I didn't know either.
I wish them (and Jason Brown) all possible happiness.

So the podcast was worthwhile, Jason is giving us new content (the interviewers could have talked a wee bit less, I didn't care about their opinions, I wanted Jason's. Luckily as we know, once he starts answering a question, he doesn't stop
.) Some highlights:
1) If he is selected for the Worlds team, he will go
2) that said, this is the first Nats he is going to where the goal is not, let's make the World's team, let's make the 4CC team, but just to compete at Nats
3) Normally he is very careful to balance fast and slow programs, but Melancholy and the Impossible Dream both speak to his journey, so this year, he is not balancing. (we know, we will be crying.
)
4) When Nats were originally scheduled for San Jose in 2021, he started seeing a sports psychologist in 2020 to confront the trauma of 2018 so he would be ready to go back.
5) He mentioned several times not needing to skate through pain. At one point he mentioned knee pain. Reading between the lines, I think this is different than "everyday pain", he was fighting to compete.
6) on a lighter note, if he were marooned on a desert island with a skater, he would choose Michelle Kwan, because she knows people and they would be looking for her.

What a great interview! Definitely worth the time for any Jason fan to listen to. Jason is so open and the questions are good and his answers are so candid and full. They addressed the issue that's on all of our minds, how will it feel to compete in San Jose after what happened in 2018. And he talks about it.
I can't speak to that with certainty, but it doesn't seem to be happening. They reduced the PC categories to 3 from 5, but they are factored differently. Skaters with excellent skating skills, seem to be getting rewarded for them. Those with jumping skills are rewarded for their jumps, but not their artistry if they don't have any. A badly landed jump is getting scored low even without a fall. The judges seem to be looking for clean this year. And that's good. This applies to all disciplines other than Ice Dance, which scores things differently. Time will tell!

For those of you in the New York metro area who may want to spring for a gala ticket, next April, Ice Dance Theatre of New York has posted their blurb about the gala honoring Jason and Rohene:

2023 BENEFIT GALA AND PERFORMANCE - Ice Theatre of New York

I think the gala is scheduled to be held on 5/8/23.

thank you for the clarification. I didn’t see the date in this blurb, so I was working from memory. That is not always a good idea

Jason left O'Hare Airport earlier and posted recently from Pittsburgh Airport. Where is he going? It would appear that he spent Thanksgiving with his family in Chicago.

He has a show in Providence this Saturday, maybe he needs to arrive early to rehearse? (seems like quite the production). It could be that there is no direct Chicago-Providence flight and PIT is the connection.
Back in my working days I spent an enormous amount of time in that airport, as it was the USAir hub. Now that USAir is no more, I understand it is far less busy. But the new airport was beautiful (for an airport

Green Airport, outside Providence, is served by American, Frontier, Jet Blue, Delta, Southwest, and United.
Southwest has a nonstop from Chicago to Green.
But perhaps Jason has more air miles on a different airline?
