Wow, been a while since I've written anything substantial. So shameful too since I have soooo much free time. I try not to spend it on the internet, but youtube, wikipedia, imdb and (eek) facebook take ahold of me soo easily. How can I bring y'all up to pace? Hmm. I think a few days ago spring officially began. The wind died down, the solid sheet of ice across the canal is broken up and melting, the temp has risen quite a bit and most importantly the energy in the city is starting to build. Everyone is crawling out of hibernation. The paths along the canals are packed with people out and abewt enjoying the sun and blue skies.

A card came last week. Twas amazing. Had a ton of fun. Awesome to see another familiar face but also a little strange. I think maybe when you start having visitors you don't feel as much like one yourself?? Ya, I think so.

Ok now, off to Amsterdam. Oh what? Yep.
