children have a passion for gambling too.

I just talked to my dad. He's awaiting authorization to get sent to New Orleans to offer air traffic control support.

Of the 35 air traffic controllers working at New Orleans International Airport (Moisant, MSY), only 3 had known whereabouts as of yesterday. More have been found today, but home life isn't coming easy, so plans are being considered.

"Aren't you scared?"

"Aw, Di, you know me."

And I do, and I respect/support his spirit and capabilities, but...

And my Mom has been networking to help Matt's brother all week.

Just as my parents were beginning to seem like peers, they have turned into superheroes.

In other news, Augusta, Georgia is running out of gasoline...

Deep down inside, I'm optimistic.
