Hope everyone is OK in Houston. We were going to stay, but on Friday morning my wife freaked out and we headed down to family in Victoria.

She has a good reason to freak out, though... I guess this is a good time to introduce the new addition to our family:




Brandon Daniel Foertsch, born Sept. 5. I wasn't going to be able to attend the track event this weekend anyway, but I think I had a good excuse.

Michael, Congratulations!

Look forward to seeing you at the track sometime soon. Bring him along. It's never too early to get them started!

Glad to hear everyone seems to have made it through in one piece. And, congrats to Michael on the new addition. I hear of rumors of an impending shortage of beer in Houston; I hope you folks have enough stockpiled.

The Balinese is gone. Now a pile of soggy matchsticks.

Yeah I read that yesterday. Now it will just be a memory and a reference in the ZZ Top song for trivia buffs.

Everything ok here. Lots of downed trees, my pool looked like a lily pond/swamp, Ike tried to take my 944 turbo (*** U IKE, it's MINE!!), and I feel like Kimbo Slice has used my lower back as a punching bag. Cleared out all the trees/brush, cleaned out the pool, removed all the boards, repaired some roofing tiles, and mulched all the leaves/brush left in the yard. Wife came home after all the work was done and complained that the floor was dirty - AAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

I was only without power for 1 day, but I am in the only one on the street with power. Still no cable/internet, can only use the computer at the office.

Michael, congratulations to you and Lori Anne from Jeri and I!! What a beautiful boy. We'll plan on swimming lessons for next summer (since he's already been in our pool).
