Something Beautiful Today

Johnny hits the ice for his rehearsal in Sun Valley. 

This is about the happiest he looked the entire time, 

until he came to greet his waiting fans. The rest of

Oh BTW Just One More Thing ...

Ahhhhhhhhh ...

I am still basking in the glory that is Johnny's 2010 USFSA Readers' Choice Figure Skater of the Year Award (Michelle Kwan Trophy)!

Mmmmmmm ... The bliss of poetic justice, too
