The novelty-ridiculousness of it will last you for years.

Holiday cards: You, the family, and the navy jet.

Hey, I had my house burn down last year because of a forest fire. Not entirely the same thing but I sort of know what you're going through (the zombie-ness, the all over emotion, etc etc)

I got interviewed a lot by all sorts of different news stations. I was down to being interviewed, but looking back now I kinda wish I hadn't. There's quite a few videos where I just look robotic and bleh. Are you thinking/have you done any interviews?

ANECDOTE TIME: The first time we figured our house was totally gone was later that night. The 100km/hr winds had died down enough for a helicopter to go up and take pictures of the worst parts of the fire. We found the area where our house was, which was black, and we just started laughing. The smallest house on the block got torched. Then we started making jokes about how it was 'about time another crisis happened, the cancer thing was so five years ago'. It was a great family-bonding moment. (sounds weird but that's how we deal with stuff like that. My entire family is Marco from the Animorphs.)
