Thanks for all the well wishes guys and gals. We're somewhat back to normal now...I still have a bit of debris to clean up, but not nearly as bad as other areas of the city...and our basement remainded dry, unlike many (my boss has 4ft of raw sewage backed up in his basement). All in all, Denise, the kids and I were fairly lucky. Thursday night, as Denise and I were getting ready for bed, she had put her foot down and said that I was to walk into my boss' office the next morning and switch two vacation days...that she didn't want to go see her sister B.J. anyway (they've been having an email tiff for the past month
). I
almost reserved the flight right then and there, but decided to wait and see if my boss was still going to go for it (and to give Denise an extra night to sleep on it). Now, vacation days or not, there's just no way I can take the time off and have IT ready for the hollidays.
I've gotten quite a few messages from everyone here thanking me for the site, and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate the thanks. Most of the thanks goes to all of y'all though. I've set up many forums over the years, dealing with varying topics, and I can honestly say that this is only the second successful one. The credit for that goes to y'all, as all I did is throw a mat on the floor. I didn't think the forums would do this well, as 20 years is a long time for people to just jump back into things, but most who have been posting on here haven't missed a beat. Without the reunion committee, and the willingness of each of you to 'talk' on here, this place would just be another dot on the web.
