    Just had some good news - my younger boy Nick (who works at NASA at Cape Canaveral) is safe. He and his wife and my granddaughter did the smart thing and evacuated. Currently in LA. I have been so worried. But all are safe and well.

      That must be a huge relief.

      Sidenote: how awesome to be working at NASA.

        I am insanely proud of him. Given that he started as an apprentice cos school and him could not agree. And proud of his brother too for different reasons. Give me a few drinks and I’ll take all the credit for their success.
