Church got cancelled (again) because of the snow. Seriously. It was like five inches and we would have been just fine. But, I guess I'm not complaining. So instead we went to the services at the National Cathedral. I assume most of you Shahas have been there already, but here's some pics to show the splendor of the place. I think it's like the 4th or 6th largest cathedral in the world (we didn't really have time for the tour). This pic shows how deep the place is... the lit up area in the back is where the altar is and where the services took place. Unfortunately, all the seats you see didn't exactly fill up... just the first couple of rows.

RIP Mr. Salinger
J.D. Salinger, author of "The Catcher in the Rye" undoubtedly the novel that influenced me the most growing up, passed away on Wednesday. The link below is for a nice tribute article from The New York Times. Thank you Mr. Salinger, for defining an entire age group regardless of generation and for being the one to truly write the great American novel.

Welcome to Iowa
From the very first day we moved to Iowa, the locals warned us of the dreaded "ice storms" that grace each winter with their presence. Well, the ice has come and Iowa City has been turned into a giant hockey rink. You can't go anywhere on foot without feeling like you are going to fall on your face. Everything is literally covered in a sheet of ice and the pictures don't really do it justice.

EAGLES!
So there are like a gajillion bald eagles about a few blocks from our house! They all hang out by the dam on the Iowa river because the ice breaks up there and all the fisheys are easy targets. These pictures don't do the scene justice... we need a telephoto lens or something. They're awesome though. There's a bunch of dumb geese too and lots of ducks and these really huge brown birds that we're not sure what they are. Anyway, life is good and stuff. You guys are all awesome. By the way, I'm with Coco.
