Two light snowfalls (melted the next day) and two days with historic high temperatures. Mountain snowpack is very low this year. But there is just enough snow in the mountains for skiing – managed another 5 outings this month and 12 for the season. Gave another lecture at the University and we took in 3 concerts, including the Arrogant Worms.


Completed the cabinets and countertop in the garage and painted the rear wall. Cabinets on left hold golf bags in summer, outdoor furniture cushions and ski stuff in the winter. Skis and umbrellas in the middle.

3 days skiing with friends at Sun Peaks. 3 nights at the delightful Sylvia Hotel in Vancouver – dinner and lunch with former colleagues, delightful Asian food, walks in Stanley Park with Taisho, a concert at the Orpheum and the cherry blossoms were out.



Finished the month with a weekend at the Penticton Art and Music Festival. The city embraces the arts. The Ignite the Arts Festival starts with a parade “For no Reason” of hundreds of people and continues through the weekend with some 60 events at a dozen venues. Great stuff!
