My teaching studio flooded this week. Living in California, you just don't expect these things to happen. The carpet was ripped out, now there's the linolium, and it needs a bit of cleaning up before I teach there again. The good news is, it'll be up and running before my first day teaching of next week.

It's quite the perfect studio, actually. My first, too. It's like getting a nice first car. Not many are so fortunate. And I'm excited - I'm starting a new student. I'm having visions of a student recital in the summer...

I certainly sympathize! We came home from our vacation to find that our children's room had flooded, as had our bathroom. Then, I left the car outside in one of the deluges and discovered several days later that in the trunk was a LAKE where the spare tire was supposed to be. Disgusting! Spent an hour bailing it out, draining, sopping up grody stuff...

Southern California is not a place meant for a foot of rain over just a few days!
