Tis thunderstorm & tornado season - and we've had our share already. Well, stormage anyway. Thankfully no tornadoes in our immediate area. I took this picture the other night - it was after 9pm and very dark outside. The sky was lit up by all the lightning.



Here's a couple of videos. Right click and save. The first one is short and taken from the front porch - the second was taken from inside the living room looking out the back windows. The electricity went off in the middle of Lost, so there was a 15 minute gap in the TiVo'd show for Ben.

And if you are wondering... DISNEY BOUND! Woo Hoo! My brother and his family want to go, and want us to go with them. I told him it had to be during the cheap season, also known as hurricane season... so we've reserved 2 rooms at Port Orleans French Quarter for 4 days 3 nights in September. Ben so far is not scheduled to go. If I can sell enough of our "stuff" on eBay & Craig's List, I may be able to talk him into it.

Elway had another checkup this past Wednesday, and he continues to be the wunderkind. Good cells up, bad cells down... blood pressure normal. He also gained almost a pound, which his doctor said was good. That means when he eats he's feeding himself, not the cancer. He has graduated to every 3 week appointments now... which will be a bit scary but I think he'll be fine. His oncologist had a little tear in her eye over it - said she didn't know if she could last 3 weeks before seeing Mr. Incredible again! :-)
