Can't go back

It's raining in Baltimore. The air is crisp and chilled and it has been raining non-stop. I was supposed to be in San Diego right now, but because of the emergent state of Southern California right now, my flight has been cancelled. I can't believe what I am hearing from everyone I live with, and when Kelly called me yesterday in a state of total panic because she feared evacuation, I was totally stunned by the severity of what was going on so near to my home. It is unclear when I'll actually be allowed to fly home, or what will await me when I do. At present, I'm still in awe of the surreal disconnection I feel - half of me wishing I was there to help or be with my extended roomie family, and half of me relieved to be so far away. I'm thankful for the benevolence of my connections in Baltimore, and am just waiting and watching, the whole country between me and my home.

I had completely forgotten that you were in the area. They aren't rerouting you to Orange County? Do you need a place to stay? I can drive up to Baltimore and pick you up. Our house is very guest friendly.

That's so good of you my dear. With any luck I'll be going home tomorrow, but it would have been grand to see you!
