We cancelled our monthly sing for this afternoon, but now it looks like we could have held it. Irene has been and gone (central NJ), with only some moderately heavy rain.

We did have ten inches of water in the basement this morning - not nice, but not a disaster. A plumber will replace our unhappy sump pump tomorrow.

I am happy that we have not had any electrical problems (yet - a tree could still fall over onto a power line), since I am teaching an online course that started last night. It would not be cool if I could not communicate with the class.
