Life as it happens

[plural]

So thanks to the big storm up in these parts
I lost power last night

I woke up this morning
still without power
which is rare for my neighborhood

and decided to wander out
and check out the damage

I stopped to get the mail
got a lovely holiday card from perfection1144
which gets the esteemed place
as the only item upon my fridge

[oh and Lori dahlin, the answer is of course]

took a couple photos of a car down the street
which was crushed under a fallen tree
and the power came back on

yippee

oh and speaking of dangerous
tonight is the first night of Hanukah
and of course
I have yet to pick up presents for the nieces and nephews
so
I started looking around
and found this handy list for everyone's favorite uncle

The 10 most dangerous play things of all time

which awoken a painful childhood trauma
as I recalled the banning of one of my favorite toys

Lawn Darts

I mean nothing brings kids closer together
and forms lifelong bonds of friendship [even if short lived]
than seeking to impale each other from opposite sides of the lawn

I'm glad all is well, I was going to call you when I got home.

All the parts for my new box came, you up for a little phone-tag technical support for the assembly tomorrow?
