All Quiet on the Pearson Front

Hola amigos,

We´ve had some requests for some blog reassurance that la familia Pearson is safe and sound in Houston. We´re happy to be the bearers of good news. Momma Pearson is riding out Rita´s wrath in the house with four Teach for America refugees from Katrina (quite the hurricane magnets, aren´t they?), Abby the lab is hiding under the bed and crying, and Daderoo fled to California on a bike. Everyone´s safe.

We tried to get in on the natural disaster action by ordering up an earthquake in Oaxaca last night, but unfortunately, it was so mild that we didn´t even feel it and just found out about it today from our neighbors.

Thanks for all the good wishes for the Pearsons and Texans and Louisianans everywhere. Tune in tomorrow for some stories about our trip to Mexican wrestling and a glimpse at Rahul´s new shiny apple.
