Stuff of stuff of stuff

I havent been laboring much on this labor day. Mostly have been watching Gustav roar towards my friend Pam and Mario’s house back in the states. It seems like eons ago but really only 3 years ago, I was mortified thinking Pam had died in Katrina...I will never forget being in the airport on my way to begin flying back from Africa frantically trying to get internet connection to work in the airport to try to get in touch with her or anyone.
We have ridden out alot together in our time, 9-11, Katrina, my IVF treatment, my kids, her marriage, my marriage and her kid etc.... I am hoping that she along with all of my other friends and everyone for that matter are safe . I am a little far away this time to do the Susan Hess “Berlin Airlift” with groceries from Whole Foods, dog food and baby wipes… I am hoping that all will be well and Gustav will disappear....
