Day 4.....No power.

It is a hot, hot day here in Miami. We lost power a 4:00 pm on Thursday, with the first strong gust of wind. It has still not returned. We are not sure when it will return, either. Here's why....


That is the how to not be popular with your neighbors 101 lesson 1.

Our next door neighbor and we have been sharing ice, and lamentations. I woke up at 1:30 am this morning-hot, sweaty and dreaming about going to work just to escape the dreaded heat. I am so tempted to go to my office and sleep on the conference room floor.

All of our cellphones, 1million candle lantern, computer, and the ever important gameboy all had a trip to the office today for recharging while I went to my second least favorite place to go - the laundromat. First place is held by the grocery store.

Fortunately, we did not lose phone service. And other than our avocado tree losing several limbs, this has been more just an inconvenience than anything else. So I will quit my whining now.

On the bright side, David has been incredibly good. He even did his homework with very little protest. Willie has been good, too.

I am so looking forward to going back to work in the morning.
