It's hurricane time...

Well, we were given a choice... go home almost immediately or stay here and be subject to the direction of emergency management personnel. So yeah. Home.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm worried. Just a bit.

And yet... the gallows humor has already set in! Laura just came in and said "The eye's heading straight for Montgomery!" And I burst out with, "Eye is like, "HI Montgomery! How are YOU doing?!? So nice to SEE you!" And we laughed.

How bad is it that, even though I feel badly for everyone in Alabama, my first feeling is relef that it it isn't hitting New Orleans? Because if it had, it would have been The Hurricane. Every thirty years NO is hit by one that leaves her reeling, desperately struggling to pull herself together... it's been about thirty years since the last bad one... I know I haven't been there since I was ten, and chances are I may never go back, but that's where my heart is, and where a lot of my family and friends are...

Everyone, stay safe...
