Powerless

We are 7 days and 4.5 hours without power.   Ike and some sisters came roaring through Ohio last Sunday 9/14/08.  How does it feel?  Powerless.   We've been through the different cycles..  cooking "refrigerator stew", going out to eat, eating Peanut Butter and crackers, and now are cooking canned goods with cheap meats out on the grill.  Feels good to not go to restaurants and better to eat better food.  But, we are missing our fresh veggies.

We've burned candles each night , and gone to movies twice.

So, is this postmodern or what?

Concert

We attended the July 16th concert at the Fraze by Mark Knopfler. Oh, the music was divine! Among the songs he played were "Sultans of Swing" and "Telegraph Hill". Of course, the Fraze is a great venue and we had awesome seats. He's a laid back performer, almost humble, not flashy at all. It's just him, his band and the music.

July

July is whizzing by. We've just been doing ordinary things. Some excitement coming up next week! Friends are coming into town and we'll all go see Mark Knopfler at the Fraze. The week after that our niece comes to visit for an evening.
So, not much going on yet, but couple fun weeks coming up!
