Cincinnati Blizzard (In Pictures)

Hoooray!!! Today marked the 1st time since I have been in Cincinnati that we actually got some "real" snow. Our official measurement in an open field was 12". Snow drifts were up to 2 feet against our house! Here are some great shots from today!

Since it was a blizzard, everyone bundled up, including Shelby!


Even I got bundled up:


Oops! Looks like we should go out the front door, the back door looks snowy!


To get around, you need to travel like the Eskimos!




Doggy sitting in the snow! (where'd the paws go!)


Shelby and I take a break from the action!


Matt - we are going to need you to clean off the deck. It had about 18" of snow on it!


It sure was fun to have some real snow. Of course shoveling the driveway wasn't any fun and we didn't even finish it! We also have a lot of snow on the roof that I'll try to rake off tomorrow.

Sure makes me wish I lived in a warmer climate - maybe in Central America where it's 85 degrees year round! Who would want to leave there! :)

Pilobolus

The other week Meghan and I had another Date Night and went to see Pilobolus. They are most famous for their silhouette performances like the ones from the Academy Awards (see video below) however they are a contemporary dance troop based on their unique "weight sharing" techniques. These people are strong! The amount of weight that both these men and women can lift is amazing. Their bodies are all muscle.

When we saw them they performed 5 or 6 contemporary dances, some were a bit out there but our favorite was called "Aquatica" where they really gave you the sense of being under water. The way they were able to lift people and do some slow-mo type of stuff really gave you an amazing underwater / floating feeling.

I would certainly go see them again!



They are also famous for this VW commercial:

Human Tetris

This is one of my favorite videos of all time! I laugh every time! Most of all I love the contestants who panic at the last minute, you know they are gonners.
