Calm

Here we sit. Before the storm. Things outside have been secured. Non-perishable foods have been purchased. Shlomo came home from Florida a day early.

Our plan is to ride it out. Hopefully, it will make landfall east of us so we will be on the cleaner side of the storm. If not, it could get ugly.

We were supposed to meet my mother in Austin this weekend for the UT/Arkansas game. It was postponed. Oh well...

In the meantime, we (and the zoo) are ready to ride it out.

I will leave you with one last thought. I called Shlomo to see if there were any particular non-perishable foods he wanted me to pick up at that local shopping horror called the supermarket. His response, "Eggs."

Me: "Huh?!?!?!"

Him: "Yeah, I might want to make some egg salad."

I don't think he understands non-perishable. It's all about picking battles, people. Pick your battles.
