Irene - be prepared for a fight

Dear Irene,

Please don't mess up my plans to go to NY this weekend. I'm looking forward to it and will be annoyed if you get in my way. I know the media gets lots of attention and better ratings when they warn us about how you destroy everything in your path. However, I don't think it is asking a lot to hold off until Saturday night. You are more than welcome to start wreaking havoc around 8pm, once I'm safely there. Okay? Please and thank you.

Sincerely,

Rebecca

P.S. Ravens beat the Redskins last night in a great battle of the beltways! I know it was preseason, but the game was still a fun one! 

Look how close we were! It was so fun to watch touchdowns here (when we were on offense!)

Haha - check out the funny stance Flacco has here! 

Have fun preparing for the storm! I'm going to try to prepare my back yard a bit - bring the breakable things inside. I'm not too worried. Hopefully, there won't be a huge storm surge. Living two blocks from the harbor has its advantages...potential flooding is not one of them. 

If for some reason I don't make it to New York, here is my plan B.
