The prom

No, these aren't Ghost Dancers; just an impressionistic shot of dancers at the SWOS prom last night. The gal you seem to be able to see through does have substance!

As can be expected at SWOS events, it was colorful and diverse and fun. There were boys in T-shirts and jeans, frequently being grabbed by the arm and hauled out onto the dance floor by gowned girls. Some were understated, some were flamboyantly overstated. One girl made her own prom dress ... out of duct tape! (She said it was a little stiff, but it was certainly impressive.)

I removed my hearing aids early in the evening, but we both had a lot of fun. Still, 9-ish gets old for us old wallflowers and we left shortly after the Grand March. As always, we appreciated the turnout by the staff in support of the kids and their event, and the kids were nothing but polite, courteous and friendly with us.

It's finally warming up today, starting at 18 degrees at dawn and getting up to just over 50 degrees now, with a cold wind. We're off to the Dolores area to look for some photo opportunities, after preparing an order of cards this morning, and then to a party for supporters of KSJD, our local public radio station. The music will be a bit different (supposed to be gypsy) than the prom music, and I suspect we'll find more to talk with other attendees about. 

Yesterday we did a big cleaning and reorganizing (which I can feel today!) that helped get our office and FeVa Fotos work area more functional, as well as having a good effect on the rest of the other rooms. Tomorrow we're planning to detour through Farmington on the way back from meeting, to do a Sam's Club run and look for some other stuff that requires some of the big box shops we can find there. tv
