I am posting this from a friend's office because we are without power at the moment, so I can't do anything online. We got hit with a nasty snowstorm overnight, very wet and heavy snow, and have been out of power since the middle of the night. Which, in the country, means no water as well as no lights and heat. So, I'll be back to post, answer comments, chat and answer e-mail as soon as I have power again. Hopefully soon.

I'm sitting here in the dark and freezing. No, not really. It's not dark yet and it's hot and humid. But I have no power, except what's left in this laptop. Can't connect to the net because I use wifi at home and the router is electrical (if I get really desperate I'll crawl up to the study and…

An ice storm took my power out for a week a couple of years ago. You'd better drink your milk while it's good!
Hi Ed,
Hang in there! I don't know much about snow having lived in Arizona for most of my life, but losing power is always trying.
Ed honey, it was so good to have you back on line last night. I don't need to tell you how much you were missed:-)
Thanks honey. It's amazing how dependent we become on technology. My entire day was shot. I couldn't do any business at all. Quite annoying. But I'm back.
