I realize that several of you know my parents or know of them. I've made some references to the fire, but I haven't posted it here so everyone can know they're OK.

Wow! How scary! I am glad that your parents are alright and that they had relatively minimal damage to their home and belongings.

I didn't know about the fire in Long Beach. I will have to ask my parents if they heard about it.

I hope you and your parents have a wonderful time together!

As I understand it, anyone who watched television for those two days definitely saw it as it was everywhere.

I'm very relieved that your parents are fine KC!

They're flourishing, thanks. They've confirmed that their homeowners' insurance (USAA) will pay for them to stay in a corporate apartment while they cannot return to their home. They have found a place just down the street from their home and mom tells me it has a pool, a gym, and it's right by where she goes for yoga. Sounds like me and my checking out that there's a tae kwan do do jiang available in Tashkent.

That sounds excellent. Almost makes me wish our place would catch on fire! But not quite.
