Gustav Passes Us By

We were lucky this time. We’ve had more wind and rain from thunderstorms than we did from this hurricane. I kept waking up in the night expecting to hear pretty strong wind, but all I heard was rain. My thanks to all who have offered prayers and concern.

From what I can tell, Louisiana is not getting hit as badly as was feared, but it will probably still be pretty bad for those low-lying bayous on the coast.

In other news, Michelle Nichols, wife of my old friend Daniel, has given birth to a baby boy—see this post and this one for more info.
