UPDATE:
Congratulations, Johnny,
on an amazing and powerful
comeback to competition!!
Johnny finished 4th at Finlandia,
and is now preparing for Rostelecom Cup /
Cup of Russia on November 9.
So excited to see him perform these
beautiful programs again next month!!
Johnny in his Phoenix costume.
Beautifully done: the details offer quiet echoes
of Fallen Angel while also evoking
a new beginning for Johnny on the ice.

Johnny's free skate: "Phoenix."
Completely in love with this music.
A gorgeous, soaring program, in which Johnny shares
both bitter ashes and hopeful rebirth with his audience.
Like Fallen Angel, the program takes us on an
unforgettable journey that promises to be
even more breathtaking as the season progresses.
Another view.

Another part of the beautiful music is Chopin's Nocturne in C Sharp Minor.
...got major chills and tears just from watching the practice - ugh! dammit Johnny, there you go again, making me feel this way!...I can't imagine what I'll be like seeing him in actual competition (gathering whatever tissues I can find, and buying the entire stock of them from the nearest big box store AKA Target)
...the music is perfect in evoking the intensity of the phoenix rising from the ashes, and I definitely see the correlation of this costume with his Fallen Angel costume...BEAUTIFUL...no one else can tell a story (a personal one, at that) like he does, on the ice...I am thrilled for him to be back in competition - the best is yet to come...Sending Johnny best wishes and hugs - you make us proud!
This was so great weekend!!! <3 <3 <3
