THE IMPERFECT STORM
There's another woman in my life today...Claudette. She can't make up her mind.
Claudette is a tropical storm, apparently bent on becoming a minimal hurricane.  This morning (at least what I call morning although sane people call it the middle of the night) Claudette was taking aim at Brownsville, in deep deep South Texas and appeared to be nothing more than a passing nuisance to my world.   Now she's bearing down north of Corpus Christi which means I must alter my course too.  I must fixate on planning as we try to out-guess the storm, get people in position, and information on the air.   
As of right now, the plan is in place, I'm all set to go,  but now I must wait for Claudette to ready herself.  
There's a certain familiarity to all this...the women in my life have trained me well.

Speaking of imperfect planning.  Did you see this?  
What if this is really a subtle terrorist plot? 
Do you really trust your garden gnome?
