May Flowers bring Snow Showers?

The weather this Spring in the Wood River Valley has been delightful, and in some respects outstanding.  The snow went early, but there enough showers to keep water levels close to the norm.  This was the case until last week.

Cold weather set in last week, bringing snow with it – even at the house.  It has been about 25 years since I experienced something similar.

So how has Spring weather treated you?  Are you ready for Summer?

Rivalry Saturday – ****

I cannot say enough about this body of work by Dan Hollingsworth and Steve Waite.

A person that is a true fan of College Football will greatly appreciate and acknowledge the spirit in which this effort was conducted and successfully completed.

If you attended a college with a known arch rival – then it is understood – one never graduates no matter the date on the diploma.

Written in third-person narrative these two have pulled off what most of us only talk about – a full out Road Trip to a boatload of Rivalry games and have lived to tell about it.

Hollingsworth and Waite capture virtually aspect imaginable and deliver in an unvarnished genuine manner.  Bobby Bowden opens up about the implication of segregation,  USC Trojan Song Leaders in full sweater fulfill a childhood dream, cars become boat anchors and cameras are lost.

This book presents the real spirit of rivalry’s no matter the schools involved.

Jill Barber – Mischievous Moon ***

A complete throwback to American Standards with a fresh voice, words and sound engineering.  That is  how I would characterize this work from Canada’s Sweetheart.

Took Me By Surprise feels new, inspired and yet would make veterans of the Brill Building smile knowingly.

Tell Me, is edgy and haunting.  I feel as if I could step into a black & white film set in a changing US South in the mid-sixtees. Oh, that would make me 3 to 5 years-old, but hopefully you get the image.
