Hurricane Wilma

Hurricane Wilma is slowly making it approach to South Florida. After sitting on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico for 14 hours, slapping it silly, it finally made its anticipated 90-degree turn to the west....straight towards Florida.

We shuttered up the house, brought everything that can be moved into the house....and now we just wait. By 11:30 the wind was kicking up only a little; "Wilma" (I can never watch "The Flintstones" in the same way again) is still moving slowly towards us, and by around 3AM it will hit around Naples, slash across the state towards us, and by 8-9AM it'll be sitting on top of us like a fat lady who sits down and doesn't realize she's squished her cat.

Let us speak of better things; how 'bout them Sox? What an ending to tonight's game! Even thought I was always a Cubs fan, while growing up my family lived 20 miles south of Cominsky Park, so we saw a lot of Sox games. Because my brother and Grandfather were both White Sox fans, it was just easier for my dad to take us to see the Sox. I guess some of my family still up there who are still Cubs fans are saying that True Cubs Fans are really upset about the Sox even getting to the World Series. But I have been away from Chicago for more than 25 years and while I am really now a teal-blue Florida Marlins fan now, I still am so very happy for Chicago.

GO WHITE SOX!!
