I really hate that we didn't make the annual family trip to Galveston. Stewart Beach, the Balinese (Z Z Top,anyone?) , the Strand, the Elissa, Gaido's . . . who knows when we will be able to go again.
There is a big problem with the continued failure to allow media to cover the West End. What ARE they afraid of us finding out? They are reporting 35 dead so far - but I fear it will be much, much worse. The man I called "Dad" because of our working relationship at the TX Renfair had a beach house at Crystal Beach - you could see the beach from his window. He died last year, and I'm afraid his house - which he so loved - is gone. Another friend who was proably too stubborn to leave - I fear HE is going to end up being a casualty.
My heart just aches. I love Galveston - its funky Victorian charm, its citizens who are proud to be BOI, the fact that after the 1900 Storm they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, built the seawall, raised the whole city and went forward.
