It's been over a week since I posted anything, not that it's been a dull week, but I've been a little busy. Work is really picking up. I was able to make contact with most of my Galveston researchers last week, so I feel better knowing they are all okay. Many of them still have not returned to the Island to see what, if anything, is left of their homes. Other's live off the Island, so other than no power, they were getting back to normal.
I keep thinking about our last visit to Galveston. August 16. We took the kids and didn't spend a lot of time at the beach itself. They wanted to play in the pool at the hotel. When they wanted to go back to the beach on Sunday, I told them no becuase it was too late and we had to get home so everyone could go to work on Monday. What a bad Aunt. Now there is no beach to visit. I was sad when I told Dave this last night, but we know that Galveston will be all right. They will have everything up and running by next summer. Some parts are already regaining electricity, so it's only a matter of time.
It's times like this that I realize how lucky I am and how my problem are small in contrast to the hell some people are living in right now.
