This afternoon, the Lights took Jim, Vienna, and me out hiking at this trail nearby their house. The sun has finally broken out from the rainy and snowy conditions of the past few weeks. It actually feels a little bit like California now! Life is a little bit more relaxed…

In the evening, after our wisterious hiking adventure, we returned to the Temple Ball Gallery to hear Lisa Ray, Denise Barbarita, and Vienna Teng perform. The crowd was much smaller than the one at the Tori Tribute the previous evening, which allowed us a little more freedom to experiment and…

The morning was spent sleeping. Sleeping is good when you’re traveling non-stop from city to city, day by day. The Viennasaur hibernated until well past noon, waking up from her sweet slumber around 1:00 pm. We hung out at Connie’s place for a couple of hours, which we spent looking…
