JC note: The big issue this week has been the 10th yr anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. I am planning two posts (hopefully first will be ready on Monday).
I just finished a demanding project with a short time fuse, I breathed a half of a sigh of relief, than got blindsided by something new (stressful but potentially interesting). So I am losing the battle at the moment to keep up with things, but I will try to get the Katrina posts out next week.
