Wednesday is the day I am due to go back to work. Time sure passes fast when you are having fun and in good company! It looks like a long drive upriver to catch the boat too.

BUT, I see on TV this morning that SE Louisiana is now in the watch area for Ivan and I am wondering if I should try to leave right now... I think I am going to call my dispatcher and have her set me up a car to pick up tomorrow, later in the day and warn her that IF it looks like the storm is heading to us, I will need to stay home and take care of business. My daughter can do and does do a lot for me but I suspect that a damaged (almost new)mobile home would require me to be here for the insurance adjusters. I just don't know what I should do at this point... will know more by tomorrow...

Sad thing is, my sister is in the Florida panhandle and so is a lot of my relatives so one way or another, it looks like some of us are going to get it.... FRIGHTENING!
