O'Charley

Hurricane Charley is a monster...and since Stacey's parents live in a suburb 20-25 minutes east of Tampa, that has us pretty concerned. Even if they're far enough away from the storm surge, I'm sure the winds will be intense, since Charley is forecasted to become a Category 3 by landfall.

It's amazing watching the photos and video of MILLIONS of people evacuating the coastal areas. Much worse than spring break traffic on the interstates. At least all we have to worry about here in Decatur are lightning, flash flooding, and tornadoes...er...wait... Seriously, though, keep Stacey's parents and the millions of their neighbors in prayers...

Decided to join the Andersons for their small group last night. That was worth going to. And not just because of the free food...

Today, I plan on enjoying the 75-degree August weather. I just hope this nice, cool weather is not a hint of some excessively cold winter on the horizon...

Well, I talked about weather for almost an entire blog entry again... Told you guys I was a freak about that stuff...

KEY PHRASES: "But, Stacey, old people can be jolly, too." Following a conversation about J-mo's birthday: "How is it that J-mo is among the oldest (not significantly older) in our group, but still looks the youngest? He's like our own Dorian Gray."
