'Stralia Bai-bee! The Opera house was the best hall I've ever sung in: great acoustics and great feed back for the performers. Wow. Good on ya Qui-Gon, that's brilliant. I'm an Aussie and I haven't even been to the opera house. (It is 940 km away though.) |

Well, I'm going home tomorrow. I miss my own bed. Sydney was nice (expensive but nice). |

Well, I'm going home tomorrow. I miss my own bed. Sydney was nice (expensive but nice). A short delay in Sydney was largely made up in flight by good tailwinds. Someone ordered great weather for us in Sydney: upper 40ºs to lower 70ºs and sunny each day; not bad for Winter. The singing was nice, but the highlight was the Opera House, which has the best acoustics I've ever experienced for both the audience and the chorus. |

One storm (Iselle) went by with little overall damage, but another one (Julio) is yet to come. We hope it continues to veer North, away from the Islands. |

My second major trip of the year is over, and I had a great time. The hardest part for me, as always, was the plane ride to and from. Otherwise, I met an old friend (from here) and saw some wonderful museums and sights. But it's good to be back home. |

Oh, those poor folks on the Big Island. Two (and a half?) hurricanes in the last few months have blown by, and now a lava flow is threatening homes. I hope things turn out well for them. |

That's true: if a finger of lava heads toward your home, you can douse it with water from fire hoses, build berms or trenches or offer a small pig or goat to Pele, but nothing will stop it (though I'm not sure anyone has done that last thing lately). |

Well, I did my second (and last) marathon last Sunday. I beat my 2013 time and finished much stronger than last year, but I don't want the jarring to my feet, shins, and knees, nor the fatigue to my thighs that 26.2 miles brings. |

NOT ME!!!!!!!!! Julie, you replied to an old (very old) message in this thread, which confused me, but when I checked it out it sent me down memory lane about a good year skiing. And that reminded me that I've been watching the snow at Tahoe for a few weeks now; it is looking good so far. Also, I didn't want my post count to end in "13", since my upcoming Reno trip needs as much luck as I can muster. |

Well done on the marathon :) well done too and making it the last one :)))) I enjoy a good sprint - marathon's not so much :/ edit: Reno? Nice. Good luck!! :) |

Yea! Lake Tahoe resorts are reporting 3-4 feet of snow. |

The skiing was OK at Mt. Rose, while the snow was thin (and slushy in the afternoon). All-in-all though, this was another great Reno/Tahoe Spring trip. |
