Cautious optimism

Well it's Wednesday. I am wondering what I will do with all the extra time when I don't feel the need to continually check hurricane tracks. Right now it "looks" like Ike will hit south of us. There is some talk that we will get the "dirty side" of the storm. For a native San Diegan I really have no clue what in the world it means. In the meantime I haven't cancelled our reservations yet - hopefully can do that with a confident heart later today and free up hotel space for some family that will really need it.
