hurricane housing update

we'll we've spent 4 days trying to adopt Katrina refugees and have had no successful leads.

we've signed up on about 10 different websites and haven't had anyone call or email. we've even considered going down to the Veterans' Coliseum (where over 1000 Katrina victims currently reside in close quarters) and just picking out a couple or family.

unfortunately, they have the place protected and even volunteers can't get in unless they have an assignment for that particular day and a special card to swipe.

so we're planning to volunteer - jodi's doing some training and volunteering this week - and I'm talking to some red cross folks about volunteering medical services.

we'll keep ya posted on the quest for our new family members!
