As many of you may have heard, Fort Myers, Florida, where I live suffered a devastating hurricane.  Yesterday at this time the winds were howlin and the rain was pouring down.  It lasted for hours.  I had a screened in porch at the back of my house.  Over the course of several hours I watched as it slowly blew down. By this morning it was completely gone.  And I was one of the lucky ones, many people lost their homes and too many lost their lives.  This morning I walked down my street I saw so much damage.  Please keep Fort Myers and the surrounding area in your thpughts and prayers over the coming days.  The reason I am posting this column is twofol, first to let you know Neo and I are fie, we survived the hurrican.  Second, to apologize for having to cancel so many lessons and lesson requests.  It has always been my policy to never cancel a lesson.  Unfortunatel, my home is currently without electricity and water and of course the internet. I am hoping everything will be restored quickly but some are saying it could be a week or two. I am very sorry for doing this.  my students are like my family and I do not ever want to disappoint any of you.  I look for to talking to you all soon.  I also apologize for an spelling mistakes, I am not used to typing on my phone.
