Saturday Morning Update
9:15 a.m. -- I was awake at 6:30 a.m. to make an evaluation if I could make it to The Woodlands to join Thomas McDonough in the running of Run The Woodlands 5K Series #138. (Let make state very clearly that it was Tom's insistence to try and run the event which only would take two people to declare a race. The activity was not, if it occured was not sponsored, insured by, condoned or endorsed by Luke's Locker.)
The winds weren't *that* bad, but I saw lightning in the sky and I thought that it might have been indicative of potential tornado activities. Therefore, I came back inside and went to bed.
Currently, the winds are about the same. We are without power, but have phone service. The Chronicle reports that there are 575,000 Reliant customers without service. We have the back door open to let some cool air into the house and I'm going to break it to Gena and Waverly that at noon we should start to put the house back together again. (Actually, we could move out if we needed to right now.)
We were overprepared, but what kind of a husband or a father would I have been if we weren't prepared for the worst. Not as good of one as I could have been.
I put batteries in the radio and tried to get KHOU on the stations that they were supposed to be simulcasting on and nothing! Oh well! I turned it back off to save it in case we didn't have power for an extended time.

Jon, sorry about the race and even more sorry about your power being out. If y'all get too hot or need to wash some clothes or have some coffee, c'mon over to the Kaiser's. We're small but cool (and very blessed).
Or come on up to Austin. Not much happening other than we're eating way too much and looking forward to an afternoon of college football and Astros baseball. Awaiting word from Bill White and our employers when we should plan on returning.

Hey Jon, that sucks that you lost power -- hopefully it'll be back soon. Here's something ironic -- we never lost it in Conroe, and I'm now back in Webster and my apartment never lost power either!! Very surprising.
Anyway, Mr. Mendeck and I wondered whether you'd gone to RtW this morning or not. :)
I'm back down in Clear Lake now, and will have time this weekend to work on that webpage! :)
