I know, I know, most people here are keenly aware of that fact.

However, I received a package in the mail that exhibits that rocking. In a thread with preview pages for Birds of Prey #86, I made some comment about how I didn't know when I'd get to pick it or any other comics up since I'm displaced because of Hurricane Katrina. Gail quickly asked for the address where I'm currently staying so she could send me some comics. Needless to say, I was taken aback because I didn't honestly expect my admitted pity party to garner much more than an, "Aw, man, that's too bad" kind of a response. After giving her my address, she then asked me if I wanted any of them signed. Again, that's just unexpected coolness on her part. I was never able to get back to her on the specific comics I missed like she asked because I was busy trekking all over the place down here checking on my current job, figuring out living arrangements, and looking for a new job and living arrangment at the same time.

Late yesterday afternoon, Kristina came in with a package from Gail. It had the last two issues of Action, the last two issues of Villains United, the last three issues of Birds of Prey, and the trade of Killer Princesses. All of the books are signed. Thanks tons, Gail. Not only missed comics that I really wanted to read, but you helped create a nice sense of normalcy among the strangeness and chaos.

To repeat, Gail rocks.

Not bad. My mother and stepfather close on a four-bedroom house today in Gulfport and offered me a bedroom to stay in until I can find a place of my own. It's quite the impressive house too. The school I teach at is scheduled to reopen for the teachers next Thursday and for the students on Oct. 3. Although, I do think it's a bit early to open and another couple weeks to get everything settled could've been a good idea. I have an interview Monday morning for a teaching position at what looks like a really nice high school that's about thirty or so miles north of Atlanta, GA.

The principal of the GA school just called. He said he's been trying to get through to me all day and this was his eighth call. The governor of GA has put out orders to close the schools on Monday and Tuesday next week to conserve energy and costs so it look like the interview will be rescheduled for next Wednesday. From everything I've seen on the website and conversations I've had with the principal, it looks like one amazing school.

Woah. Can you share what school it is, btw? Or at least what system?

Wow, closing schools?

Energy costs must be bustin' the budget . . .

Oh and on target - very cool of Gail.

Gail truly doth Rock With Teh Awesomeness.

Speaking of packages...I sent you one a few weeks ago.

Two days before the hurricane.

I wonder if you'll ever get it?

I'm not sure. I'll check with the post office on Monday if they have something for me. Thanks.

Deebie, check your PM box.

Wow. Gail rocks like the antrhomorphic personification of Glastonbury.
