Sanibel

Tonight I am worrying about my favorite place on earth, Sanibel Island. I visited and lived there for over 20 years, wrote my books there, and watched my older kids grow up there.

It seems hurricane Irma has Ft. Myers in her sights. That city is right across the bay from Sanibel. A slender flat barrier island could easily be destroyed in the process.

Here are webcams.

I hope not.

Happy Birthday Aidan!

Yesterday he turned 23 and we took him to dinner at Dosa on Valencia for some delicious spicy Indian food. He is such a fine young man, now single and working full-time.

At work we are tracking the hurricanes in the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico; also the earthquake and hurricane hitting Mexico -- lots of news this weekend. And, of course, all the political news that never seems to stop coming.

I've been interviewing candidates for some new hires at work. We are going to seven-days-a-week news coverage!
