Well, it goes without saying but I'll say it anyway - "Here we go again"

My sweeties, depending on what's in store for my little city of New Orleans in light of projected forecasting for Gustav, I may be MIA from here for a while. The folks here are buzzing about filling their tanks with gas, planning evacuations, booking hotel rooms to escape to in northern areas far from the coast and bascially getting their affairs in order. No one wants a repeat of what happened when Hurricane Katrina blew through.

I'll be back as soon as I can. And if I get "stuck" somewhere for days (like during Katrina) and happen to have electricity and internet access, you'll be seeing quite a bit of me here as I try to fill my days with happy thoughts!

Send us a little sunshine ... xo
