Like Abe Lincoln

We had, like, no power from six until well after midnight last night. It gets dark. How are you supposed to read? Cath started Cormac McCarthy's The Orchard Keeper by flashlight, but I switched to the iPod and then switched to putting J back in bed when she got up and walked down a pitch-dark hallway and stairs to tell us she was "scared."

I don't think Abe Lincoln had an iPod. Although if he did, history has some major explaining to do.

Hmmm? said...

I think I've been without internet for almost 24 hours now. I finished two books and wrote a poem. Man, 24 hours...that was hard. Cute picture.

Not bad for 24 hours. I am going to have kind of a "media fast" for a week this summer in New Hampshire. That'll be a long one for me.

Hmmm? said...

lol! I just realized today that I'm leaving for New Mexico on Saturday with Lauren and Hopi, and that means no internet for a week. Oh man! Dilemma!

That sucks; at least it wasn't too long, eh? Yeah, that is a groovy picture.

I'm leaving to SC this weekend with no 'net for a week and a half! Double Dilemma!

I can't believe you lost power. What a bummer. I'm always so paranoid about our food going bad that I can't enjoy the lights-out. Isn't that funny?

If the power was still out in the morning, I was going to make a personal-record batch of pancakes to use all the milk and eggs we had in the fridge. Too bad it came back.

I always thought I was good at pancakes and then I finally started using this cast iron skillet I bought a few years ago. It has been a new dawn of pancake making ever since.

actually i think if you dont open the fridge/freezer then it'll stay cold for a long time. Never had to test that, thankfully, but thats what i hear.
