Good Evening!
I'm back from yet another day of walking, bussing and Metro-ing around L.A. Oh, and there was some rehearsing today too which went very well!
*I have yet to read today's posts, but just wanted to check in and say that I'll be back later. I got another "care package" in the mail today of my mail. And Steve even packed some birthday surprises in it for me!

-Oh, and I need to finish sorting out the bills and the various credit card and health insurance offers - I think I've hit 12 already!! Guess what I'll be mailing off tomorrow morning!?!?!?
AND...
I called some people back home in Richmond this afternoon. Apparently, Richmond is more or less flooded at this point. The rain they received today has supposedly caused more water and flood damage than Hurricane Isabel caused last year in some areas. -Of course, most of of Isabel's damage was wind-induced, but still...
My friend, Mark, who has finally recovered after weeks of battling walking pneumonia, came home from work this afternoon to find four inches of water in his basement apartment. Thankfully, he sounded in good spirits, and his upstairs neighbor was loaning him some dry clothes and a couch for the evening. And my friend, Bob, was stranded at a gas station since on either side of him the roads were flooded out. Hopefully, he was able to get back on the road by now. I'm just hoping that my apartment is all right - at least the roof got fixed a few weeks ago, and I'm in a "higher" neighborhood in regards to the river and normal flood levels. So...
And, of course, there are at least three more possible storm systems due in by the end of the week, so... *I'm guessing DR MattH may be dealing with some wet weather right now too.
Good Dry Vibes for my friends in Richmond, if you please. Thanks.
Laters...
