Thundering in the Spring Snow

After much agonizing over the ticket price, reasonable if the dollar wasn't limping along, I decided to forfeit the survival tactics of frugality and surrender to the immersive bliss of Parsifal at the Staatsoper tomorrow. So I'm gearing up for a five hour marathon. Meanwhile, Yvonne was invited by her new hairdresser to model for a competition this weekend. She'll have professionally designed hair, makeup, the works, and maybe end up in a glossy European publication.

A surreal weather event most of this afternoon - hard driving snow, sometimes blowing horizontally, then thunder, sunshine for a few moments, and the gray wintery calm of Central Europe returns.
