Life in the Land of Dreamy Dreams

So far, so good. Nothing’s brewing in the tropics, yard cleanup has begun (again), and things move forward.

We lost power before the storm really even began, and didn’t get it back for 4 days. Luckily, they were breezy days, cool by New Orleans standards, and were spent in a strange sort of suspended animation. Lots of naps, some wandering about, and just waiting. Waiting to see what Ike would do, waiting to see when the power company would show up, waiting for the internet to come back, waiting for our mayor to get his head out of his…oh, nevermind. Let’s not get carried away, we all know that’s not gonna happen.

In the meantime, Charlie received a request to write a piece for a newspaper about why we/others decided to stay, and he hit it out of the park, so not all of us were just lazing about for several days.
