Calling Memphis

My dad called this morning and asked me to try & track down one of my aunts, who is in Memphis. He couldn't get through on her cell phone because it's a New Orleans number, and those are all jammed up and not working. So I called my cousin's school, explained the situation, and asked them to get him a message to call me. About 5 minutes later, Rick called, very worried. Apparently his teacher told him there was a "family emergency" and he needed to call me right away. Well, yes, there's a family emergency, but it's nothing new since Monday. I felt terrible for scaring him and for getting him out of class, but at least he'll be able to relay a message to my aunt.

In other news, my dad has asked me to set up a family email network. If you're part of my family and reading this but didn't get an invitation to join the group, please email me.
