Well Bob, so long as you and the family are alive and kicking I'm satisfied :-)

BTW, my OM didn't need much power in those days, still got one at hand AND film?

Stay safe and keep clicking ;-)

I know you’ve all been wondering what happened to Bob. In fact, I’m sure some of you have been in therapy at the loss of my infinite wisdom, wit and whatnot.

Sunday, a kick-ass winter storm blew through the middle of Maine, uprooting trees and throwing them across power lines and such. We were without power from Sunday morning until Tuesday evening. Not so bad. We have a generator. But unlike most power outages, we also lost our cable. So no TV, no internet. And no cell service in Round Pond, which, I believe, is almost, but not quite of this earth. Only reason I can think of why we get no service with towers no so far away.

So, now it’s Thursday and we still don’t have cable. I’m at my son’s house in Portland to spend the day with Norah, so I lugged my laptop with me to see if I’d missed anything. Maybe she’ll take a long nap and let me catch up, but I doubt it. Not a problem. I’d rather play with her than catch up on emails.

Unexpected consequence: We had no election coverage for two days before Election Day, and the no coverage continues. Oh, we know who won and who lost, but it’s second-hand knowledge, which isn’t so hard to take. Not that I’m happy. I’m just surprised at how sanguine I can be about a disaster I suffered second hand.

A lesson, yes?
