Where to Begin

PHEW! We made it to South Carolina early this morning. Thank you every one for your concern. We are very fortunate. Our living conditions in Mandeville, one hour north of the city, were great. We were without power but we had running water, hot showers, hot meals from a gas range and a pool. We just missed the A/C and cold drinks.

Of course what everyone would like to know is, "HOW IS THE BABY?" She's fantastic. As long as my boobs are nearby, she's a happy camper. She has provided a much need distraction from this whole mess.

We have had a lot of offers for supplies and I think that we are in good shape for now. The true test will be when we get back to the city and we see what shape our home is in. I am optimistic given the location of our neighborhood. If you would like to help, there are a lot of people in worse shape than us and you can always donate to the Red Cross.

Thank you once again for your concern. We love you all.
