Sundance 2014

Last night some friends from the ward and I headed down to Sundance (or as I like to call it, Bob's Place) for a production of "Fiddler on the Roof", and theater under the stars. Being as I was a little gimped up, it was quite a journey. We decided to take the long way around and go through Heber City, which is a much prettier route.

 First we stopped off at this awesome joint, Billy Blanco's, to get some chow. It's like a Hard Rock Cafe for Car and Motorcycle buffs. Lots of rock music, lots of bikes, and lots of vinyl and chrome. Totally fun.


I know I'm usually a veggie girl, but after a bit of a rough day I was in the mood for some meat, so I ordered the carnitas tacos, and coleslaw. I must say I highly recommend both.

 After a yummy dinner, it was on over to Heber, and down Provo Canyon, to Bob's Place. It was a gorgeous evening, and the show was awesome. The actor playing Tevye was absolutely incredible. Alas, no Bob sightings, but I did get to see some other good friends who were sitting nearby. 

As you should all know by now, you can't take me to a musical without me singing along, and so I usually try to warn everyone in advance. And last night was no exception. But the folks around us appeared to be good sports, and the lady behind us even joined in. Fun times all around.

Goals

One of my goals this year is to go on a backpacking trip. It's something I've always wanted to do, but been too intimidated to try. Well, a few weeks ago, one of the girls in the Ward invited me on a backpacking trip to the Uinta's this summer. This time I immediately said yes. All was well until a few days later when reality set in and the thought of carrying 30-35 pounds of pack on my back while hiking in rough terrain just about made me cave. I did not have all the gear I would need, nor was I in good enough shape. The gear is something easily worked out. Most of it I can either purchase myself, or borrow from highly motivated friends. The physical conditioning was another matter altogether, so I decided it was time to get in better shape. I've been pretty good at exercising regularly, and I'm in ok shape for someone approaching a milestone birthday (if I say so myself). But I knew I needed to put in some extra miles, as well as add strength to my legs ...

Weird Al and Iowa

So a couple of weeks ago while watching TV, I happened to click on an A&E Biography of "Weird Al" Yankovic. Boy - did that bring back some fun High School memories. There were interviews with Dr. Demento (Weird Al started out on his radio show"), and snippets from some true comedy classics - for instance "Eat It", "Like a Surgeon", and others. I remember my best friend Jill really being into his "Polkas on '45" album. I went to High School in Iowa (Go Hawks!), and one thing about the midwest is that someone like "Weird Al" really fits in there. It's the land of brats and beer, and polka (I mean, the Iowa marching band's favorite song is the polka classic "In Heaven There Ain't No Beer"), and people there have a sense of humor - they don't take themselves too seriously. They work hard, have a good time, and are all about community. They take care of each other. When I get to heaven, there...

Company 5K

Friday evening was the company 5K, and most of my team and their families made the effort to participate. The weather was perfect, and the route took us through the neighborhoods around the main building. We ended up finishing in about 45 minutes. Here we all are at the Finish line (l to r: Dave, his daughter and son, Robin, me, Tiffany, her boyfriend Scott, Sudhir, Bindu, and their daughter Naomi) After the 5K, I decided I needed a post-race recovery meal, and got myself down to the local DQ for a pumpkin pie blizzard.
