My fourteen-month-old wanted to play outside this afternoon, so we went outside for a few minutes while she enjoyed the feel of the grass on her bare feet. The question is, when she wants to go outside tomorrow while hurricane Gustav is storming (it’s already started raining), who will win?

Assuming that all of the cell towers are not down, I hope to be able to update my blog via text message tomorrow morning. So be sure to check back then. Also, my latest info (a “micro-blog”, if you will) can be found in the Twitter section on the About page of this site.

We expect to be perfectly fine, as the worst thing that will likely happen is we will lose power for several days, forcing us to eat canned chicken, ramen noodles, and lots of pudding. Please keep us and all of our neighbors here in South Louisiana in your prayers!

In spite of today’s craziness, what with a sick wife and kiddo, I was reminded of how beautiful my (growing) family is. Check out the picture below.

For those of you who can’t get enough of my cutie-pie daughter, I finally fixed the photos portion of my blog site. Sorry for the delay. I had to do some hacking of the falbum plugin. Special thanks goes to johnnypez.com (and Google!) for helping me with the fix.

Now, go take in as many pics as you can by clicking the Photos link to the left or by just clicking here.

For those of you who have ever read Don Miller’s book Blue Like Jazz, Miller now has his own blog. He’s the guy who gave a prayer at the end of the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

His first blog post is quite humorous – it’s his email correspondence with Barack and Michelle Obama. Check it out here. The blog is running on WordPress, of course.

Oh, and if you haven’t read Blue Like Jazz, I do highly recommend it!
