Recent events:

• Hurricane Gustav passed near by.
• Lost power, worked all weekend, slept at my office so that I could have A/C.
• I had the next weekend off, but developed an abscess in one of my impacted wisdom teeth, of which I have (had) all four still in my mouth.
• Went to the dentist for painkillers and got scheduled to get all four of the suckers yoinked the following Thursday, September 11th.
• Returned to work the next day, then worked through that entire weekend due to Hurricane Ike rolling into Houston.
• Luckily did not have to sleep at the office this time.
