The Dark Ages

We had hurricane-like wind and rain over the weekend. We lost electricity on Saturday night. We didn't get it back until Monday evening. And with no electricity, that means no oven, no fridge, and most importantly, no heat. I slept in the living room because it was 59 degrees, which is warm compared to the icebox of my bedroom in the attic. When I went to the grocery store, the electricity was out there too, so all the meat had gone bad. Not many people showed up to church because a lot of members live in Hamilton Beach where people were stranded because of power lines fallen on the only route out. But now the electricity is back on and I've never been more thankful to have working heat!



Book Event
Last night, I went to one of our author's book events. It was a good turn out of about 25-30 people in a little book store downtown Manhattan. The presentation was complete with a slideshow showing images from the book, and the content was basically like a live excerpt. A lot of people seemed to be knowledgable about the subject matter or at least theatre and women's studies, so there were plenty of questions during Q&A.












Drawing

I had a weird dream about strange worm-like dog creatures chasing me through beaches and prairies, but then Geoffrey Rush came in and saved the day. This is the opposite of that dream I had where Sean Connery refused to rescue my family trapped in an elevator.














Upcoming

Tim O'Brien book event
Shakespeare book event
John Green book event
Lee Camp comedy event
Job interview tomorrow
