Weather Wussies. Geez, you'd think the world ended by the way people reacted! We had a light snow in the Albuquerque area yesterday morning. Here in the valley, there was less than an inch accumulation, and nothing stuck to the pavement. Okay so in the heights, there may have been 3 inches or so, but it still didn't stick. Schools were delayed, some closed and important things were cancelled, primarily my acting class, By noon, all the snow had melted, and it was just COLD! Acting class was at 7 pm. By that time, there was nothing preventing ANYONE from getting to class. And I had spent all weekend memorizing my monologue! I was ready for that class, dammit! Now I'd understand if class were in the east mountains, but come on people...Suck it up! Growing up in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana made me used to getting around in the snow, and yes, I really was one of those kids who walked a mile in 3 feet of snow to get to school. I only remember one time when school was closed in Montana. That was when there were 8 foot snow drifts and a wind chill of 60 below zero. Here, the world comes to a halt in one inch of snow!

Trying again! I guess you could say I have abandoned this blog for the last two months. So much going on. Improv class, plus two or three nights of improv watching a week, acting class once a week, balloon fiesta, and my singles group. And on my rare"off-nights," I curl up with an obscure movie. So I'm just going to make a 15-30 slot in each day to type random ramblings. Let's see if this works.
RIP Jelly Doughnut Boy. Saw a disturbing piece on the local news last week. Brian Traxler, one of my favorite players of the late 1980s, early 1990s Albuquerque Duke's baseball team has passed away at the age of 37. Traxler was usually at first base, and still holds the record for games played, total bases and doubles. Brian was a big fellow, so much so that we nicknamed him "Jelly Doughnut Boy," in reference to what his staple food must have been. He was named most popular player on many occasions, and was a very likeable own to earth guy. No cause of death has been stated.
