Sleeping Arcy.

Ah, the sweet bliss of good people and good times....

My spring break started with my first visitor to my house since the whirlwind move in January: my brother, Stuart. He put up with the work I still had to do- classes, interviews, reading, writing- until I was finally finished. Then he took a crash course in taking care of all the animals before I left at 5 am on Friday to drive back home. Yeah, I've been living here for three months, but Humboldt County is still "home."

The drive down was beautiful. Clear roads, clear skies, and a clear head. Listened to thirteen episodes of "This American Life." Each episode is an hour long. So, it took me 13 hours. None of this two-day trip because of the snow and ice stuff. Yay! The drive was a blast. I'll share pictures of home, and my brief adventures, in the next post.

Meanwhile, here is a link to a montage of videos Stuart took. You'll see Giovanna lunging, (we were having a tough day), and Berhwood being ridden, and the dogs. Great opening section of Georgia running with the Flying Nun ears! Priceless. Boise Movie Montage
