Two Hour Delay

I got a text message from UNM LoboAlerts Emergency Messaging at 5:00 am this morning alerting me that UNM-MAIN CAMPUS and UNM WEST were on a 2-hour delay due to weather conditions. I peered through condensation on the window, and it looked pretty white outside. After I got up I could see we had about an inch of snow. Rosencrantz went right out to play in the snow, but didn’t stay out long, as I found him looking in the window trying to get my attention a few minutes later. I made him earn his way back inside by making him wait until I got a good shot of him before opening the door. Rosencrantz shot back in past Guildenstern who had to survey the situation before he decided to go out an walk around in the snow.

We picked up Tristan on the Westside on our way into school, and not a flake of snow had fallen west of Coors Road. Tristan said she was quite confused by the LoboAlert, but when we got to UNM at 9:00am there was about 3 inches of snow on the cars and Johnson Field.  Staff who live on the Eastside closer to the mountains said they had about 4 inches of snow, and there was general mayhem on the roads as cars and trucks slid toward I-25.

T-House Down

When the old Territorial House burned on July 23, 2012, I was saddened by the damage to the historic landmark I had grown up with, worked on, and even performed in. The demolition started last week and the first two photos show all that was left of it at 8:00 am this morning. I took the last photo of the orange barrels on my way to class this afternoon as I imagined the stormy sky marked the time that the last vestiges of the T-House were dumped in a trucked to be hauled away. The site where the 213 year old hacienda once stood was vacant and scraped clean when I passed by on my way home tonight.

Ash Wednesday

I went to the Ash Wednesday service tonight and the second I walked in the door, Jerri snagged me and said “I need you to run sound,” and quickly showed me which channels controlled the mics, guitar and video, then she went off to direct the music.  I don’t how long it’s been since I’ve gone to an Ash Wednesday service, but I decided to try some self portraits with the ash cross on my forehead when I got home. I find self portraits are challenging, especially in the mirror without having the camera show. Since I couldn’t see my composition or focus, I just took my chances. These two came out the best, although, I can’t seem to smile and press the shutter at the same time. It’s like the corners of my mouth and my fingers are connected, because I start with a smile, but moving my finger down to press on the shutter, pulls the corners of my mouth down.
