All's Quiet on the Eastern Front

Irene came late last night and left this in our neighborhood:

Clearly we're doing just fine here. Equipped with three gallons of store-bought water, batteries, candles, a cooler and two bags of ice, it seems we'll be set for a week full of cool hydration and romantic dinners by candle-light.

Thank you all for your prayers this weekend. We're safe and sound.

Irene-aggedon

Hello readership. I didn’t realize this tropical storm was a big deal until I turned on the television today and saw that the news is reporting that this hurricane Irene is apparently shutting down NYC. I’m not quite sure how to react as the news headlines for our ‘earthquake’ last week were written with similar verve.

Sarah and I are steeled for a weekend inside, fully prepared with water, food and board games. The area where we live in the Bronx is on a hill, so we’re in good shape.
