There's Hope for Hurricane Emily
For those of you not living in an area obsessed with hurricanes, there is another one coming. This one is called Hurricane Emily, which makes me laugh because Steve's cousin's name is Emily. Not that I think of her as a hurricane, but she knows I get excited about the prospect of time off.
Two blogs ago, I was dieing for a day off from Hurricane Dennis, but it came on the weekend and was a bit too far away to close down the city. Now, we have another shot. Hurricane Emily will be south of Puerto Rico on Friday, which means she could be close to Miami on Monday or Tuesday. You never know when she will make the northerly turn, but once again I am crossing my fingers for a day off - or two. With a little skim of Florida's most southern Atlantic Coast line on a Monday or Tuesday, we could be enjoying a day off.
You must realize that my hopes for this scenario come from my first or second summer in Miami. That exact thing happened. The city shut down and it was the most beautiful day ever. The hurricane sucked up all of the humidity & clouds. We got a day off with sunshine. Yes, I saw the devastation of last year's storms first hand. Plus, I spent two of the four hurricanes crammed into a tiny townhouse with too many people. Despite all that, my hopes of the perfect hurricane scenario have not been dashed. Perhaps extreme optimism is good for some parts of life.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
