Cache of the Day - A HOT Night in Old Vienna

Saturday was a great event, with the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra playing throughout the night during our annual fundraiser "A HOT Night in Old Vienna". We played three sets of music, including Viennese waltzes, rhumbas, tangos, foxtrots, and cha-chas. I mostly played flute and piccolo, but I did get to sing a tango called "Hernando's Hideaway", and I did get to dance a bit as well.


The food was very much comfort food (a Viennese-style buffet) and a cash bar was available as well. Taylor and Davie came but I don't think they danced much. I think they (well, Taylor) just enjoyed getting dressed up.


Which of course, is always fun.

Cache of the Day - Real Snow for Skiing

Last week I had a chance to get some Real Snow Skiing at Powderhorn in upper Wisconsin by the U.P. of Michigan. Having most recently - and for the last several years - been resigned to skiing on a pseudo-hill with fake snow in southern Indiana, this was a real treat!
Although Paoli Peaks (the pic of Taylor is at that resort) has its advantages (close to home, easy runs), it doesn't provide nearly the thrill of higher elevations, fresh snow, and a great variety of runs.

The weather was perfect for skiing as well! What a fun day!
