March started out with more snow – we are enjoying one of the snowiest winters on record.  We had 2 feet on the ground at the start of the month.  This is the ice-encrusted downspout chain.

And this is the fog in the valley!

Had a Global National TV interview and then a local CBC radio interview about North Korea.  I am working with UBCO to try to connect it better with the community, and we did a one-day seminar on the issue.  Great fun, interesting, and about 200 in the audience.  The UNI asked me to do some promo so the local CBC radio station interviewed me.  Not sure if link will work but give it a try if you are interested – it starts at 1:22:33  http://www.cbc.ca/listen/shows/daybreak-south/episode/15523798

Former neighbors and all-time friends Cam and Elizabeth came out for a week of skiing – I think it is their 4th time out here.  They are really good skiers!  We joined them for a day, and let them loose for 2 more, at Silverstar and Big White.  Great snow and sunny days.  But Mizuho had a spill and sprained her knee.

We 4 went to the Santana concert (I saw him last about 40 years ago in Winnipeg).  Cam also dove in to help design, build and install the closets in the front hall (#1 on Mizuho’s list) and gave me great guidance on the other few dozen items on the to-do-list.  These will have a top and sliding doors soonish, and some maple/fir trim to make them look like furniture.

These are the remaining cabinets in the front entrance which will have maple doors trimmed with fir.

Another 3 sets of kitchen drawer fronts being oiled and waxed and likely installed later this month.

Have been listening to a lot of music these past few weeks – most of which never makes the radio and much of which never made it to CD.  Spent about 6 hours in a audio store listening to speakers.  About 40 years ago I heard some electrostatic speakers in Winnipeg that amazed me. Finally bought a pair this month.  Update at the end of the month.  Wow!
