Lending a Hand

I have one of those great professions. The kind of job requiring me to stop staring at my computer screen, throw on a pair of jeans and hit the road.

Most recently I loaded a bunch of engineering students in my car and joined a caravan to Bacliff. We spent the afternoon talking to each other like Darth Vader through ventilator masks. The masks were meant to protect us from mold while gutting a home ravaged by Hurricane Ike floodwaters.

By the time we left we were covered in rancid water and muck, but the gratitude shown by the women helped was all worth it.

Ike Inspired Copy

I've been working on several hurricane-related stories as the Greater Houston area continues to recover from Hurricane Ike's blow three weeks ago.

Here's a taste of what I've created. Happy reading!
