Hurricane Rita is now being described as having the potential to be the worst storm to ever hit Texas. And even though I'm concerned about my folks' house and all that (since their suburb of Sugar Land has already begun voluntary evacuations, my biggest hope that Rita stays as far away from New Orleans as humanly possible.
This actually is great: Almost a year ago at this time, I posted about one of my old schoolmates, Jonny Beckett, who was battling lymphoma and had a benefit concert thrown in his honor, which I attended. Tonight, I saw him direct the Four O'Clock Lab Band. He's back in school and hopes to finish his master's degree in the spring. What a difference this year has made!

I also hope for your parent's house to be okay. It's good that they're not going to be there though - except that could be a double-edged sword I guess. Have they taken precaution to get what they need out of there and somewhere else? Or is the path of Rita looking more and more promising for humanity? I agree, Louisiana doesn't need to see any more of this. The whole Gulf Coast needs some natural relief here.
Thanks man; I'm sure they've made plenty of preparations. I don't know if they boarded up windows or anything, but they have neighbors who will be around, and one of them no doubt has a key. The latest I've heard has the hurricane going more to the east of Houston now, and they're on the west side, so hopefully they'll be spared the brunt.
