perfidy

I have been without power since 9:00 last night. I am posting this from the house of a friend who (seething jealously) has had power restored. Hurricane Isabel did not do too much damage overall, but a significant amount of downed trees has left hundreds of thousands of people in Northern Virginia powerless.

Therefore, posting will be light until power is restored. On the plus side, lack of electrical power for refrigerators is a good execuse to eat shrimp for lunch, steak for dinner, and all the most expensive food in the fridge for snacks before it all goes bad. Natural disaster is a good excuse for breaking the diet. Or for almost anything.

Lots of games of Parcheesi until Dominion Virginia Power gets its act together.
