A moment

My daughter is home. That means for a brief period, the family is together. She returned from California from a workshop for small group ensembles in Sonoma to the flooding in Iowa City. Her apartment is fine, but the entire arts district of university buildings are under water. The artwork at the University of Iowa Art Museum was carted up the best they could and sent to Chicago for safe keeping. A friend of mines daughter volunteered to wrap up the 300A.D. African artwork in bubble wrap before FEMA enters and says "everyone out". The Clapp Music Center, Hancher Auditorium, and new art building (less than two years old) are swimming in water.
