Hurricane Irene has thwarted my blogging plans. Actually, I can’t really blame this entirely on Irene. The USANA Convention was simply much more intense than I had anticipated when I made plans to blog about each day’s activities the following morning. Look for Parts 3 and 4 the next two days.
Meanwhile, this is a short note to wish everyone a safe and dry experience of Hurricane Irene—which I hear has now, thankfully, been downgraded to a tropical storm for northern New England where I live. My flights home today were canceled, so I’ll be holed up here in Salt Lake City for longer than expected.
Thank God for good friends who are watching over my house—including “battening down the hatches” in advance of the storm. I’ll have lots of “unbattening” to do when I return home. Mark and Ramona, you’re the best! I owe you big-time.
So now to rest a bit before continuing my blog series about the Convention. Thank you for your patience. I have no doubt you’ll find much of interest in my blog posts to come.
