March, 2025 – Hurry Hard

Kelowna hosted the Brier Curling Championship. We had great seats for one draw and were amazed by how good these guys are. Found time to ski another 3 times, see a couple of foreign films (including one shot in Winnipeg), and enjoyed 3 concerts, 6 dinners with friends, and several days in Vancouver with Taisho at the Sylvia Hotel on the edge of Stanley Park. One concert was the separate and combined Montreal Guitar trio (acoustic) and the California Guitar Trio (electric, opened for King Crimson for a few years, and one of them plays a Chapman Stick – stick.com). Snow at the house was all gone in early March but came back twice before the end of the month. Some modest progress on the basement closet and porch screen.

Great seats to watch Team Canada and Manitoba, won on the last rock,
March 15 – Spring Break but no crowds, no lines, good snow and sun.

Lovely fluffy flakes

All gone just 18 hours later!
