Checking in from southwestern New Hampshire, in a small village that still has no power, so I'm at the local big town (Keene) at the best independent coffeeshop. The power co is making no promises for the return of power- it could be Christmas by candlelight! But I have a wood stove, which heats the whole house, and the water comes in a trickle from a gravity-fed spring, so really I have nothing to complain about. Concerts and rehearsals are being cancelled here and there, but it's cozy and warm inside. Snow is predicted for the next several days, so I might as well get used to it.
BUT - what I HAD been getting used to was more time for Mudcat, and I'm seriously computer deprived! And now I have to go run some errands before going to Massachusetts to get my daughter from college (She Who Is Fit To Be Tied at the prospect of returning to the 19th century for Christmas! But she's getting resigned... I think... I hope!).
