IKE!

Well Ike is looming, heading straight for Houston.  For any of you who may be concerned, don't worry - we should be fine.  Kellen is in Switzerland right now and I am here on my own (with the dogs, of course).  My plan is to secure things here at the homestead and then hunker down at Paul and Cara Bovet's house (by order of the City of Houston, if you don't need to evacuate, don't).  They live in a nice, new, sturdy house which should withstand the storm well.  We will likely be without power for some time after the storm.  I'll have my phone with me, though, and cell coverage is usually one of the first things up!
