I know I need to write about my trip to Europe, but since I came back late Sunday, I've been busy trying to catch up on things I should have done before I left, and immersed in new projects that need to be done. I'll get to it eventually when I can sit down uninterrupted. It was a great journey.
I'm taking a break from painting at the moment, and the first thing I see on CNN is some drenched reporter standing on a beach in southwest Florida as Hurricane Charley blows in. Two questions: am I getting better coverage of this storm because someone is actually standing out there in the middle of it? I keep waiting to see a 2x4 blow by and smack the poor guy in the head. And what's with the funky spelling of the storm itself? I don't know many people named Charlie, and I don't know anyone that spells it with a "y" instead of "ie" on the end. They spelled Bonnie, the storm before this, correctly.
I have always wanted a tropical storm/hurricane to be named "Jim", though I figure that they would go with "James" instead. Alas, it can't happen this year, because J falls into the female name category for 2004. G does not, however, so perhaps the fine folks at the National Hurricane Society can christen the seventh storm of this year "Gym."
It would mean so much, fellas.

Hi Jim,
The hurricane then went to Myrtle Beach where my parents live. Wasen't it something how it boomeranged around into the ocean and back? I also wondered about the spelling of Charlie (Charley) in this. Yes, they have yet to name a hurricane Jim or James. My turn is over since the 70s when there was hurricane Anita. I don't know if you remember that since you probably didn't know any Anitas.
:) Anita
