So, I'll be scarce for a while. Why? Well, you see, in addition to having a freelance business, several side projects, a family, and an undeniable inability to say "no", I also help run a very busy website devoted to planning vacations to Disney World. Well . . . 1.7 million hits and 2 million page views per month, 350,000 unique visitors, 14,000 registered users and 7,500 subscribers to our newsletter. It's not a small site.
And, Disney World is in Florida. And it's hurricane season. We have a lot of people who are either trying to get to or back from Orlando while one pissed-off, bitch of a hurricane looks like it's going to hit the area. Worse, all of our people who live and work in Orlando are still cleaning up from Charley. Frances, the latest weather punk, looks like it could be one hell of a storm.
So, we're focusing on keeping people informed and trying to convince travelers to stay safe. While I'd rather be sitting here cracking jokes about Dan Fogelberg's pussiness and mocking the stuffed shirts involved in the presidential campaign. But, alas, I need to direct my attention to helping our site's users plan ahead and checking up on my friends' stock of plywood and duct tape.
Keep your fingers crossed that Frances blows back out to sea. We need all these Floridians to be able to vote so we have something funny to watch on TV in November.
