Irene

I know I've pretty much disappeared this last month+ -- I usually do when I'm writing, especially to deadline -- but I wanted to resurface for a minute and send all good thoughts to the East Coasters who are riding out the hurricane/tropical storm.

I don't know about everybody else inland but still in the path of potential damage but I'm thinking it's worth taking seriously. I'm not a big risk taker with stuff like this and so I plan on tucking in and keeping an eye on what's going on out there. 

Be safe and talk to you soon.
