Semantics

As i loaded the car, in the beautiful sunshine, I thought to myself (since I can't think to anyone else) that it didn't feel like an emergency. There were so many people out walking, talking about the latest news, assessing our relative lack of damage, it felt good. Weird, huh?

Ben and the kids dropped me off at the airport. As I hugged them and waved them off for an unexpected long weekend at Grandma's, I thanked God for the realization that - had the storm rendered us houseless - it would not have left me homeless.
