Ledger David Cellars @ Rogue Creamery
This weekend is the 10th Annual Oregon Cheese Festival at Rogue Creamery in Central Point. Today (March 16, 2014) is the beer and cheese portion of the 2014 event. Tickets are limited to 100 persons. Yesterday they sold far more tickets than that and things were a bit crowded. The samples were fantastic though.

The Southern Oregon University Softball Team won game one of yesterday’s doubleheader in extra innings. The play chronicled here, even though in the early innings, ultimately ended up being a game saver.

Umphrey’s McGee @ Historic Ashland Armory 3/12/14
Last time Umphrey’s McGee played in Ashland they started right on time and had no opener. We missed the first few songs not anticipating such a situation. Looks like the same will be happening this Wednesday night so don’t be late.

Temperatures are, on average, warmer. Students are restless. Spring Break is just over a week away. We’ll start a bit early with a party this Friday. What are you doing for Spring Break?
(That’s Pilot Rock, just left of center in the distance, in today’s photo from last fall’s SOU School of Business party. Look really closely, maybe after clicking on the photo for a higher resolution version, and you can see the golf ball in flight.)
