We happen to live in a catcher's mitt for hurricanes. I would still make all the preparations for a busy hurricane season.

We were doing tape backups. But with the hurricanes, we started to think about what would happen if we lost the whole building -- and how we were going to get our systems back, not just our data.

At no time are we ever in such complete possession of a journey, down to its last nook and cranny, as when we are busy with preparations for it.

It's almost as though the hurricanes didn't happen, from a storage standpoint. It makes me quiver to say that.

To taste fully is to live fully.

While I live a busy life, the pace ebbs and flows.
