Here We Go Again

Here we are again, looking at another hurricane with the potential to come this way. I will say that I find it somewhat comical at how people react to this threat. For example, we’ve had a contractor on site this week from NJ who got the heck out of dodge when she found out about Katrina. On the other hand, I know people who are stocking their ice chests with all sorts of tasty beverages. Because if the power goes out, you have to keep your beverages cold somehow. Those are also known as hurricane parties for the uninformed. Yes, down here we throw welcoming parties for the hurricanes.

As a follow-up to yesterday’s story, I have one thing to add: Thou hast incurred the wraith of my mom.

I pity the fool.

For those of you who don’t know, my mom’s soup is like manna from heaven:

1.) Its a gift from God.
2.) Packed full of nutritional goodness.
3.) Made with love.
4.) Goes great in a bowl.

Thankfully it doesn’t turn into maggots. But it is one of the top three favorite things that my mom brews in the kitchen.

OK, I’m off my soup box.

Well boys and girls, I hope that everyone has a hurricane free weekend. School starts at FSU on Monday, so expect an uplifting and positive post on Monday.
