CL... actually, Mum took the power outage better than she did worrying about the possibility of one. Thanks for the concern. The crews had everyone back on line yesterday, two days sooner than promised. It was very tough for a lot of people, especially kiddies and their parents and, more so, elderly people.

Spring is teasing us. I hope it comes for all of us, metaphorically speaking, of course... wouldn't wanna leave out those below the line (southern hemisphere). >;-)
