She's asleep?

Does she know she's keeping US up with worry? :-)

Yeah, really!!!!

I have a friend in Miami who just refuses to take this seriously. He's home visiting his family between assignments on a Hawaiian cruise ship. "You worry too much," he admonishes me.

I can't help it, though. My daughter's paternal relatives are scattered all over Florida. My little girl gets really upset because her Grandma chooses not to evacuate, and now both her uncles are down there, too. I've got my own relatives and some snowbird friends on my mind as well.

Maybe my friend in Miami is shrugging it off because he's not a homeowner there, and he's just staying at his brother's house until it's time for him to return to work in Honolulu next weekend. He won't be around to deal with the mess Wilma's going to leave behind.

Still, his casual indifference drives me up the wall!

I gotta get some sleep now -- prayers to everyone's families in the path of Wilma!
