We had the same storm destruction over our way, thankfully my house also avoided any damage.

I'd still love to meet up with you for beers and a hike. This year I have been to the UK, The Virgin Islands, New Hampshire, New York, Orlando and China (and back to CA between each one) ... and it's only just April. Been busy, but it looks like I'm home for at least the next 3 weeks if you wanted to get together. :)
