Fay, Fay, go away

So Tropical Storm Fay is coming our way. Or maybe it will be Hurricane Fay by the time it gets here. The cone of uncertainty (don't you just love how forecasters are so good at being wishy-washy?) has Florida pretty well covered -- in any case, we're going to get hit. I mean, look at the size of that thing! It's almost the size of the entire state!

Today was supposed to be the first day of school. Right now, there are tens of thousands of kids cheering while their parents are smiling through gritted teeth. Or perhaps banging their heads against a wall.

For my boy and me today, though, we're just taking it like another day. My husband and I did some storm prep over the weekend. We have some things out in the yard to bring in before the storm comes, but other than that, we feel we're set.

Just, oh, please, Fay -- don't get any stronger than a Cat 1. Think you can do that for us?
