Okay. First off, thanks for checking in. Still missing DEFCON 1, but hopefully he'll turn up soon.
Second off, it looks like I might not get this game going as soon as I'd like. I have every intention of starting; however, when it rains, it pours - literally. Hurrican Rita is bearing down on us wit' a quickness and the mayor's contemplating evacuation of certain parts of town. I already expect to be off work tomorrow and Friday, and no matter what the extent of the damage, I have no doubt we'll be without power for a few days.
So what all this means is that $@#&! hurricane is upset I didn't pick it for this adventure and it's having its revenge on me...
Anyhoo, I'll try to keep everyone updated as much as I can. Don't go away!

Lazlow Update
Hello all!
I talked to Lazlow a couple hours ago. The hurricane is supposed to hit him Saturday (tomorrow) morning, but it's been downgraded to Category 3 (of 5) so its a lot weaker than it was yesterday (when it fluxuated between 4 and 5) and it's also going in a better direction so that what hits him will be a lot weaker than what they were predicting yesterday, so that's all good too. He and his family are all battened down tight, and ready to bear it out, although the latest reports sound like the worst thing in his area will be the flooding (some estimates are at freaking 25 inches!). I'll pass along more as I hear it.

Another Lazlow Update
I spoke with Lazlow just a little while ago. All's well. The hurricane turned hard east just a bit before landfall and ended up missing his house pretty much altogether--they had some high winds last night and lost power for about 4 hours, but that's it. Oh, an old fence was blown down in the neighborhood. The area below the tree in his front yard wasn't even wet--so much for the 20 inches of rain "they" predicted! He said he's going to try to get back online today or tomorrow, but at latest it should be Monday when we see him again. So that's good!

Howdy folks! Thanks for the well-wishing. It must've worked, because we got barely a drizzle 'round my place, although the winds were of 'tropical storm' strength (enough to blow the occasional weak tree limb and old rotten fence down).
However, BOTH Mrs. Laz and Baby Laz have come down with FREAKING PNEUMONIA in the last couple of days. Apparently it's going around - we had to wait for over a dozen other pneumonia patients at the clinic to get x-rays! As for me, I'm fine, by some miracle of healthy living (Dr. Laz' Amazing Cure-All: 16oz of unsweetened organic cranberry juice a day (not from concentrate, if possible); the quinic acid in it kills EVERYTHING and keeps ya healthy!). I'll be at home playing nurse for a couple of days, but I'll try to post if I can.
