Just wanted to let everyone know I've made it home safely. I was able to come home a bit early since my wife and I are expecting our second baby any day now.

BTW the pictures you are seeing on TV regarding the destruction of New Orleans and the surrounding Parishes do not even come close to doing it justice. I've returned home a changed person after seeing the destruciton and suffering. Makes you realize how trivial it is to be so wrapped up in acquiring "stuff" that could all be destroyed in an instant.
