Part of my childhood I lived in Houston. We were there in 1983 when Hurricane Alicia hit the city hard, spawning some of the worst hurricane-related tornados. In fact, I am pretty sure that a tornado spun right down our driveway. Not even a teenager, I was more than frightened during the storm and in my earliest views of the aftermath. With downed trees cluttering our yard, flood waters racing down our streets, and power out for days, things were far from normal.
I just returned from a family trip to the ocean. We took a chance with hurricane Irma moving North, but we were fortunate and only experienced rain and wind for a couple of days. While we were glued to the TV watching Irma advance, I was constantly checking in with family and friends in Florida to make sure they were alright. Our hearts go out to all who are affected by Harvey and Irma. It’s great to see people jumping in to help, from the $10 donations to millions raised and contributed by celebrities, local heroes, and anonymous donors. It will take years for houses to be rebuilt and to bring people’s lives back to normal.
“The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.” ― Michel LegrandSome things I learned early in life in the typical ways we were all taught through elementary, middle and high school: Reading, writing, arithmetic, science, foreign language, PE, and typing. That’s right, typing – and with a non-electric typewriter to boot!
We recently completed our 11th season of summer swim team. The final one for Devin as a swimmer, and his first year as a coach.As a family, we have always enjoyed swim team. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a fan of thousand-degree nights, where the adults are sweating while the kids are swimming, or 5-hour meets that stop and go with thunder delays, but overall, swim team has always been a good experience for us.
