Glass Houses and Tornadoes

With tornadoes blowing and baseball-sized hail falling all around our area today, what did I choose to do? Build a glass house, of all things, while watching the TV weather coverage all day — just in case I had to run down to the basement. My husband and I had this strange conversation that only a married couple could have. You know the kind, when you're only half listening to each other? He comes up the stairs talking about the huge hail just reported on the TV. I'm thoroughly engrossed in my little glass house, so I say "guess what I'm doing, I'm building a glass house." Suddenly we were aware of what the other was saying, and we both burst out laughing.

I'm sure most of you have heard of the terrible storms that have blown through the Atlanta area over the last 24 hours. The force of nature is amazing. My family and I are okay, but my heart goes out to the people who have lost their homes and, in at least 2 cases, their lives.
