Updates

Just to follow up with everyone:

...dondon009's crew is alive and well. my understanding of it is that the amount of damage is still unknown (as is the case for everyone). however, everyone is alive.
...Brandon's grandparents have checked in and are with friends
...still no word from Robert and Sharon but they may be out of the country completely; that happens sometimes

Hallelujah and Blessed Be!

And, if you are in the Boston area, my fabulous salon, Salon Red, is doing a "cut-a-thon" on September 18th. Here's what they have to say:

On Sunday, September 18th from 11AM-6PM, the staff at Salon Red & Spa will host a cut-a-thon to help raise funds for those who have lost so much in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Salon Red & Spa will be offering haircuts with blow-drys for a $25.00 donation. Salon Red & Spa will also be raffling off gift baskets and selling Hurricane Katrina Relief Bands for a $5 donation.

100% of all money made on September 18th will be donated to the American Red Cross.

"The staff and I have made it our goal to help those who are in need, anywhere in the world. We have been touched by what we have seen on television and if we
can offer just a little time and talent, maybe we can brighten someone's life".
- Arthur Harris
Owner of Salon Red & Spa

Salon Red & Spa is located at 144B Newbury Street, at the corner of Dartmouth and Newbury Street in Boston. Salon Red & Spa is accessible by the T via Copley stop.

Now, before anybody starts to wonder, No. I do not have any financial stake in Salon Red. They just really are that good a salon and that neat a group of people.

Glad to be able to write some happy stuff here.

Those are Pobble (and Salon Red's) thoughts. That and $25 on September 18th will get you good karma.
