Hare Krishna! Holi!

So there is this Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork and every year they have the Festival of Colors in order to celebrate the coming of Spring (some Spring! We had 3 to 4 inches of snow today!). There is a bunch of singing and dancing and at one point, in this outside courtyard where there are more than 1000 people, everyone starts throwing colored powder at each other and it's just a huge mess. I haven't had this much fun in a long time! These are the toned down pictures after I had shaken off a lot of it.

Runners: On Your Mark....Set....BANG!

Four years ago, before I went on my mission, I coached the distance runners for the Junior High track team. A few weeks ago I went on a run and thought to myself, "I really miss coaching track." So I said to myself, "Self, you should go see if they need help this season." Having congratulated myself with the excellent two-way communication between me and myself, we went to the head track coach and asked if they needed any help with the distance runners this year. They did, so I get to go to track practice everyday and help out. It's nice to be doing something worthwhile...not that school isn't, just something else.
