Frenzy recedes

Work wise:
- document is out. Now the customer's email is screening out any attachment format known to man... but that's not my problem. My boss is handling it.
- slides are 1/2 done, and my boss liked the first half, with minor tweaks. Yay!

( lots about dance )

Pictures

OK... so a few Pennsic pics (of me):

The first has me just behind their Highnesses. The others are the vastness of the forefront of the Eastern Army - with my umbrella readily visibile.

This is hoard, but easily a favorite dorky hat from this war for me.

New Orleans

I'm stymied. I did just write my representative and my state senators, figuring that those are the people in power most directly related to me, that I can impact the most strongly.

The disaster simply overwhelms me. The tsunami (I assume) has cost more lives, but this is at home, not far away. I look at pictures, I listen to the reports by the mayor and I'm overwhelmed. Figuring the best way to make the resources I have count, and do whatever little bits of assistance I can.

I think since I have more money than time, right now, I will figure out how and where to send money...
