Come on, Irene.

As my blog-friend says, "Irene can suck it."

Mother Nature was nice to us in Atlanta this weekend. But that doesn't mean we aren't thinking of and praying for those to whom she hasn't been as kind.
I pray that you and those you love and are worrying about are shielded from any calamity or catastrophe that this hurricane is trying to bring. And if for some chance they or you are affected, may the recovery be swift, the assistance be abundant, and the resources be great.

Amen.

Insert "Irene" for every place that Dexy's Midnight Runners says "Eileen." I admit I still have no idea what this song is about. But it works for this situation. . . .
