Hurricane Sandy: Flute Pro Shop Reaches Out

To all our customers and friends in New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, and all the areas in which the wrath of Hurricane Sandy was felt: you are very much in our thoughts today as we open up the shop and feel the relief of no damage to life or property here in Delaware.

Apparently we are enjoying this relief because the storm hit the cold air of a high pressure ridge in the Atlantic Ocean 50 miles later than forecast, causing it to hit land in New Jersey rather than the Delaware Bay as originally forecast.

It gives all of us at FPS pause to think how delicately life is balanced.  50 miles is from here to Dover, DE: less than an hour's drive (if you drive like me.)  That storm was enormous: 900 miles wide.  50 miles is a blink.

It is with an attitude of gratitude that all of us at Flute Pro Shop make the offer of deeply discounted repairs to anyone whose instrument has sustained storm damage.  We will also discount shipping.  If your music library has been damaged, we will help you replace lost music.

Please contact us at info@fluteproshop, or call 302-479-5000.

It is our hope that those of you affected by this devastating storm will soon be able to put your lives and property back together quickly.

Surviving Hurricane Sandy Circuit.

Greetings from deluged Delaware on the 2nd day of Hurricane Sandy.  We made it through without losing power, but we were ready!  Still raining today, so staying in just to be safe.

So, what's a flutist to do in such weather conditions?

Set up a circuit!

Try this:

Repeat 3 times:

Power Lung exercises x 15
Practice for 45 minutes. 
Run your stairs.  I did 3 stair cases on a route, up and down each x 5
Free weights: 15 reps each: bicep  curls, tricep kick-backs, shoulder raises, squats.

This, interspersed with watching the news, took 3 hours.  Boy was I smug afterward!

Today, my circuit will be:

Repeat 3 times

Power Lung x 15
Yoga sun salute x 5
Practice 45 minutes
1 mile on the treadmill @ 4 miles/hour
15 Crunches
Clean a closet: 1. my clothes, 2. the linen closet, 3. hall closet

I plan to start this just as soon as I am saturated from the Weather Channel reporting.

Join me, and you can more than survive the storm!!
