Grateful...

...that Gustav is history.

...that Gulfport wasn't hit as hard as was initially predicted.

...that the levees in New Orleans have held so far.

...that people I know were making plans to head to the coast to help if needed.

...that people I DON'T know were doing the same.

...that I saw some very familiar places along Highway 90 on The Weather Channel.

...that I was able to feel "connected" all day, thanks to the wonders of technology.
