Thursday - Goodbye, Dolly

Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about the hurricane that blew into south Texas yesterday. Houston is too far north of it to get any damage, but the outer bands of the storm did bring some rain that gave my lawn got a much needed drink and made my drive in a little soggy. As far as hurricanes go, it wasn't much of one, unless you were one of those living in its path (any hurricane is major when you get a direct hit). But it blew in on my mother's 75th birthday and it made landfall bearing her pet name for me, Dolly, so bittersweet memories rode in on the storm and washed over me.
