Hurricane Dean

Next year Lady M and I are planning to spend some time on the Gulf Coast of Mexico--I for a medical rotation, she for a vacation rotation. We'll be visiting The Former Hawkeyes, our good friends who spent time here in Iowa for fellowship training and are now inviting us to their home in Mexico for my training.

Their home is Veracruz, which is currently in the news as the point at which Hurricane Dean is making second landfall in Mexico. I just heard from them via e-mail, and they report that they're fine. We're worried, however, since their house is quite near the beach. We're all sending our best wishes to los hawkeyes anteriores as they weather the storm.
