I was just on the Weather Channel's website and saw a headline for hurricane forecast for the year. This is highly relevant to my interests so I looked at it. It said it was predicted to be lower than average, and without thinking I did a double thumbs up to my computer monitor. Very odd. I'm all for mild storm seasons, but I don't normally do double thumbs ups.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, I am all for a mild hurricane season. I have been worried with the extreme weather the rest of the country has had that we were next. We have been fortunate the last few years, but we got hammered in 2004-2005.

Well, Gary got the phone working.(I guess the battery had gotten out of place or something.)
On the down side, my folks just told me my uncle went into hospice care. Fuck cancer.

I'm so sorry, Sheryl. Does he live near you?

He lives in Connecticut. It could be anywhere from two weeks to two months. I don't even know if I'll be able to go to the funeral.

That is difficult. I hope that he has support nearby and that his passing is as peaceful as possible.

not your mom's socks.
I'm sorry, Sheryl.
Juliebird, I'm glad you didn't have to deal with paid intern's extended shenanigans. Wishing you much success with the next one.

I'm sorry, Sheryl.
So Tropical Cyclone Ita, equivalent of a Cat 4 US, is about to hit the part of Far North Queensland I traveled around. Cooktown has evac'd their hospital and is looking at severe damage. [link]

Laura,
My aunt is around, but she's been taking care of him since he got sick. My folks will be heading back to CT in a week, so hopefully they will get to see him.
