snappy is well. snappy ate beef tonight. snappy was happy. sorry not to post earlier. charley ended up being a 'dud'hurricane for my part of florida. but ended up hitting a part of florida that wasn't expecting it at all. lots of damage there. um aside from really bad winds and some power outages, things here were okay, i guess. i still have to buy my plane ticket back to wellesley, but that will happen when old man finally tells me if i really have to go to atlanta.
