Greetings, all.
I have to make this quick because the power and Internet are both tenuous at
best. We were without power for almost five days, then we had a day of
power with a few brief interruptions, then a weekend of interruptions in
power, and now we're having a snow storm/blizzard that is throwing
everything back a few days' worth of progress. I am seeing some terrible
things on the TV news and the radio about what an absolutely awful time some
neighborhoods are having (the Jersey shore, Staten Island, Fire Island,
etc.) and I count my blessings. We always had the generator on when we
were/are/will be without power, so we have heat, lights, and enough power
for my laptop. I didn't learn until four days in that the blue ray player
was hooked up to the generator so that even though we had no cable TV, I
could watch DVDs. So, I had lots of private concerts from my favorite
rockers. And since I have the laptop, some light, and some books, I was
still able to proofread, as I will hopefully be able to continue to do. The
local library opened back up after being closed over a week (oh, horrors!).
I lost Internet all day today because of the snowstorm, I hope this message
gets through. I just wanted everyone to know that we lucked out, we have
always been and will hopefully remain warm and dry. Some very minor damage
to the roof, but not enough to cause a leak or anything.
I do ask one favor: If anyone e-mailed me about a book or a request or
anything at all, could you please send the message again, or tell me again
what it was about? My Internet has been and remains very spotty, and I
can't imagine all that I've missed that I need to know. Thanks for that, I
appreciate it.
Really lucky on Long Island,
Marilyn
