timepieceI had a ball. Got to leave work an hour early, got home to discover Rich was asleep and completely unaware there was a blackout in our apartment, let alone, the entire Northeast. But of course, since he *was* asleep, the news was received with a simple "uh-huh."
And then our friend Karen upstairs stopped by with an invitation to join her and Dave for a cookout. A given, when you don't have a gas range and all the food in your fridge is warming up.
So the whole building cooked out, and sat there amazed at being able to see the stars, while being in the NY metro area. Unfortunately, by the time we put the candles out, I think Long Island was getting power back, because the sky seemed much lighter and I couldn't see as many stars.
And then I declared my intention of sleeping late this morning, and telling work I simply didn't have an alarm. But they called at 8:30 to tell me not to come in, anyway.
Just isn't summer without a good blackout, huh?
