Notes from an addlepated mom
Sep. 7th, 2007 03:26 pmJust heard that Madeleine L'Engle has died. "A Wrinkle in Time" is one of my all-time favorite novels, and Meg a heroine I identified most with. The sky will forever be missing a brightly shining star.
We lost Pavarotti, too... at least he knew about the award the Italian government created to honor him. These things so often happen in threes... I wonder who's next...
Other much more mundane things ( behind the cut. )
OK, gonna go finish some layout stuff while I have Bill here to corral the Linker...
edited to add: This thunderstorm was the first time the power really went out here (at least, while I was at home). I saw the strike that took out the power: white flash and boom, bright green flash, long bright blue flash (a second, at least), then a huge grinding noise like gears missing their mesh. Then... dark. It was very cool, until that wet-blanket Bill pointed out that no power meant no a/c and no fan. Sleeping in a sauna was NO FUN, especially with a toasty toddler trying to snuggle up next to me. Still, I'm glad I saw it, and I know I'll sleep hard tonight!
