I was at work. My computer went off (in the middle of editing something, argh) and the lab only had backup lights. So I drove to NJ, where there's power (and cable internet!) in Maplewood for some reason. Who knows why.
Cathy and I cooked chicken with freshly-picked basil (from the back porch) and made up a sauce out of onions, milk, cornstarch, white wine, chicken stock, butter, oliver oil, basil, and cherry tomatoes (also from the back porch) and it was great. Ahh, the suburban life.
GWB's closed, no cars allowed into Manhattan, and going back to Inwood to sit in the dark doesn't seem like much fun. I learned a valuable lesson today: I love electricity and am sad when it is gone. OK!
