We Interrupt This Program For A Special Report

For those of you who don't know me personally, you may not realize that my family lives in south Louisiana and that I own a house just outside of New Orleans. As I write this post, most of my family (the ones with any sense) have evacuated from the area in anticipation of Hurricane Gustav and are safely ensconsed in hotels and the homes of other family members. Of course, we are all concerned about our homes and about those who didn't leave. This is especially hard on me since I'm so far away...not that I could do much to change the situation if I were there. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
