Irene...

I'll update on my mini-road trip soon.

Tonight I wish to quickly blog about Irene.

4 years in Virginia Beach, and I never got to experience a real hurricane.

I was trying not to be bummed that I'm not in VA Beach for Irene (Disclaimer: I do miss VA Beach for more than just the current excitement....but I do love storms. :))

Anyway, I finally turned on the TV and watched news coverage of the impending hurricane. That might have been a mistake. (Secretly, we all know the mandate of the news to instill fear :)) And it worked.

Now I'm trying not to be afraid for my friends all along the east coast.

So. Stay safe, friends. :)

I wish I had witty/funny/pithy/brilliant advice and/or comments for you. But I don't (currently). So. This is what you get. :)

I look forward to reading/seeing updates from people on fb.

And enjoy. :)

I'll be praying :)
