The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Statewide Tornado Drill
At 10:07am this morning, the state of Kentucky did a test Tornado Alert System. Many businesses, including where I work did a drill. We had to go to the most interior wall of the building which was about the distance of two blocks from my office. I just kept thinking how I would probably die on en route to the safe area... I did stop to grab a cup of coffee on the way-something I guess I would probably not do if there was a real tornado (unless I was extraordinarily thirsty...but perhaps with a jolt of caffine I may make it to the safe area a lot quicker). I was of the opinion that with all the open space, the fiberglass, wood, and aluminum product whirling around like a blender in the 25 foot high warehouse, that we would probably all die anyway. My next thought was that although I like the people I work with, I dont believethere is really anyone there I would care to have around to see me perish (or vice-versa). Not that they aren't nice folks... In retrospect, if this tornado thing is going down, I had better stop for the cup of java.
