I haven't posted in a month. I know, I know, I suck. So anyway...
It's been a crazy few weeks. Found a house (as Em noted earlier), jumped through all the necessary hoops, and now we are waiting to close in a few more weeks. The current owner moves out this Friday; she invited us over a couple days ago to meet all the neighbors and go over a few repairs they were making prior to moving out. Be excited, be very excited!
I leave tomorrow morning on a father-son excursion to Ohio. Why Ohio, you ask? Among our stops are my father's first newspaper gig (the Akron Beacon-Journal) where he plans to track down some of his old stories, the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, and a tour of my old haunts in Columbus (where I lived from age 2 through 7). Should be fun.
HUGE storms blew through here last night. After a crazy night at work answering phones, listening to scanners and reading damage reports from out in the field and over the wire, I spent several hours just driving around. Most of East Dallas is still without power, including all of Lakewood, Forest Hills and the "M" Streets. It's very odd to drive down a pitch-black Greenville Avenue before dawn. Click here for some photos.
Oh, and how about this for an "awwwww" photo.
