Although we currently live in an official presidential disaster area, I must say we had a very relaxing weekend. The river, for the time being at least, has stopped rising, and a couple of bridges across town even re-opened. However, the water has not yet receded significantly - so much of the city remains shut down and in disarray.
Until the water goes away, however, there is very little that can be done to repair things.
So, Brian and I spent much of the weekend with Steen. There are some new photos and another short video on Steen's blog to prove it.
The last few days it hasn't even rained. The sun has been out, and the thermometer has been reporting temps in the 70's. Better yet, these idyllic conditions are supposed to continue for most of the week.
Brian's new job is already full of perks - like getting a whole week off since the university is closed due to flooding. (For those of you who didn't know Brian has a new job, you can read more about his decision to leave the literature PhD program to become a professional adviser here.) I recently completed and launched two complete websites so have a lull as far as that work-load goes, and since summer means slow at the gallery, I won't exactly be tied to a grind-stone myself. We have plans to relax with a vengeance.

Hey guys just checkin in with you. Was thinking about you, I was suppose to ride across Iowa next month (RAGBRAI) with the Air Force Cycling team, is that even possible right now? It looks like another storm is headed that direction. We are trying to raise money for the flood victims. Miss you guys, looks like your having fun, what a beautiful horse.
See ya soon hopefully.
Spring
