Happily, we are now re-energized. Power has returned as of approx. 5 pm. Yay!

No power since Friday nite around 10:00 when the storm ripped thru DC and surrounding brubs, breaking trees like toothpicks with 80mph gusts. WashPost says over a million w/o power. PEPCO's performance and reputation has been so bad the past few years, this only will make it worse.
So...no A/C and temps in the high 90s during the day. Could be a few more days...

Ah, such a grand old tree. What a shame. 
Some crazy ass weather afoot right now. Only going to get worse, I fear.
Glad to hear, however, that you and family are safe and well (though rather sweaty, I'm sure).
Take care, my friend.

Thanks, ya'll. Sweaty indeed. No power since Friday. The basement is nice and cool, but not all that comfortable for 3 plus the dog. Sort of like summer camp, but not as much fun.
All is well in the world, my Carolina Gamecocks are back in the College World Series for the 3rd year running.
GO COCKS!

Finishing the first week here in Peru. Here on our 25th anniversary bucket list trip with my sweetish.
Peru is amazing. We started in Lima and worked our way down the coast taking in the Nazca lines along the wa y to Arequipa. Just left Puno and lake Titicaca arriving in Cusco today. A little rest and then on to the Sacred Valley.
Intetnet is iffy here so pics when we get back!

Bayern v. Chelsea in the Champions League Final!!!!!
A dream final for me. Still love die Bayern from my days in Munich and the boys in Blue are my new faves.
Never in a million years did I think both of them would get by the dancing, diving Spaniards.

Another great one passes. As authentic as they come. Thank you Levon Helm for the gift of your music. Love, prayers and much gratitude to you and your family. Play on, brother, play on.

Power to the Peeps!
Those are absolutely brilliant. I am completely blown away by all of the work these folks must have put into creating them. So many wonderful little details.
Thanks for sharing!
Happy Spring, to you!

Verrrry funny, BV!
May you enjoy the four greatest blessings:
Honest work to occupy you.
A hearty appetite to sustain you.
A good woman to love you.
And a wink from the God above.

Health and a long life to you.
Land without rent to you.
A child every year to you.
And if you can't go to heaven, May you at least die in Ireland.
