Hey Adam,
Sorry to hear about the bad luck. Glad to hear you and yours are safe.
No worries on the release.
Were there a lot of other houses in your area smacked? Were you able to
find somebody to fix the house in a timely manner?
Take care of yourselves.

Folks,
Hurricane Ivan got us, big time. We were teaching the MX Master Class on
Thursday when suddenly *brrrrAAAMMM!!!* It sounded like a bomb had gone
off.
A huge tree split off from itself and landed squarely on the roof over the
office, punching three big holes in the roof. It looked like it just landed
on the surface at first, but water started dripping on the door frame soon
afterward. Within twenty minutes there were splotches on the office
ceiling, so we evacuated the office. It was already around 6:00 PM so we
ended the class an hour early.
Then the water started dripping through. We started placing buckets and
moving out all the equipment, and it was just in time because within an hour
the ceiling buckled and collapsed, along with waterlogged insulation, pine
cones, pine needles, and bark. Over the next ten hours more and more of the
ceiling fell, and we bailed water. Thank God no one was hurt. We finished
the last day of training in my living room.
Anyway, David and I have an abbreviated office setup in the living room (the
computer rack, networking, and a folding table for the two of us), but we're
going to need a couple of extra days to get the next release out to
everyone.
This has really put us in a bad position, and we're under quite a lot of
stress right now, so please bear with us as we manage both the next Plum
release and having part of our home rebuilt.
Thanks for understanding. We'll be back with you soon.
Respectfully,
