So, it’s August 27th and hurricane Irene has touched down at 7:30am in NC. We can only hope that it will not be as bad as the media depicts. Here in PA the winds are picking up and the sky is getting darker. No rain just yet.

I spent the last couple of days hunting down a bee hive in the basement and finally found the source of the invaders. They built the hive in a florecent light assembly in the storage area. I found a biohazard suit at Home Depot and disposed of the hive yesterday. Now we can all sleep in peace knowing that those pesky insects are gone. I don’t know if any of you had to deal with something like that but, it really makes you feel like your home has been compromised. I could not be at peace with the situation until they were totally eradicated.

In closing, I have decided to cancel my trip to CA to take the CCIE lab. It’s just been too much activity around our home the last couple of days and Lucas is going to school on Monday. Jaime has expressed that me leaving would not be a wise decision so, I’ll reschedule for Dec/Jan timeframe. It will give me a little more time to study and I feel like this next attempt is ALL or NOTHING.
