The Calm After the Storm

I don't even know how to resume my attempts at posting in the face of such an enormous rupture in the little cocoon I've built around my life. October 30th 2010 saw the passage of Hurricane Tomas across my little island in the sun. The death and destruction it's left in its path is unimaginable to my unashamedly sheltered self. It leaves me trembling to imagine the horror of those were consumed by mountains liquefying under their feet. Things hit so much harder when they're closer to, or rather, AT home - for sure.



With everyone's lives bobbing in the wake of that massive wake-up call, I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. I'm camping out at J's until I can go back to the office. E-mails are being answered, normal communications are coming back, things are humming again.

To be honest, I have so many blog posts to catch up on, I'm having a hard time knowing where to start. Maybe with something flippant and commercial to distract myself from constantly dwelling on the terrifying fragility of human life?

YEAH!
