@IronTy and @Maestrobjwa, do you both play piano? Anything the public can attend? 

Haha, no I just do it for fun and am nowhere good enough to play publicly other than a handful of pieces that I've really worked on as I've moved.past the beginner stage.  I'm no pro like @Maestrobjwa

That gold medal winning goal was FILTHY. 

Would love a USA/CAN repeat in the men’s final with a similar result!

She skated that free skate last year when she won the 2025 world championships and I loved watching her performance then…to do it again on the Olympic stage was amazing — and yep she had a blast doing it!

Yes--I am a professional musician! And funny you mention it...I am going to be accompanying a singer for a black history program she's headlining next Friday evening at the church next to the Senator theater--and I'll be performing a couple solo pieces as well! One by Baltimore's own ragtime/jazz legend Eubie Blake 

I'd love to hear you play.  Do you generally do private events?  Any public events?

My first and only call is snow and rain or wet snow Sunday with only grassy accumulations, then snow Sunday night with 2-5” from south to north. Northeast MD pummeled with 6”.

I have certainly enjoyed the last four days of heavy snow in the Sierras. I have gotten quite the FIX.

However, no mercy. We get 4 days off, then Tuesday another three feet of very heavy WET snow descend on Mammoth.

Skiers will get their fill of the white room tomorrow. Main Lodge lifts will be up and spinning by 10am local Pac time. SIX FEET of fresh POW await those who get there first. Palisades Tahoe got EIGHT FEET of fresh POW! Skiers are gonnabe besides themselves with pure JOY!

Every time I close my eyes all I see are huge aggregates being driven by 85 mph gusts at Mammoth! All I see is Plow Guy plowing DEEP snow!
