"The albatross and the whales, they are my brothers"

The wind this evening is ridiculous. Our local power company reports that more than 10,000 of their customers are currently without electricity because of the high winds; it's gusting around 50 miles per hour. The wind is blowing faster than the legal speed limit on my street. The lights in our house have dipped repeatedly, although not in the last hour or so. Still, we're keeping the flashlights handy.

Kevin and I finally started cleaning the attic tonight. Considering we were only up there for 45 minutes, we made decent progress. More importantly, he informed me that he's off for all of next weekend, Friday through Monday. Something about celebrating St. Patrick's Day. I couldn't take our actual anniversary off, because it's the start of Holy Week and therefore crazy time, but we'll still have lots of time together so that will be excellent. We might go to Philadelphia on Saturday, which would be nice; we haven't gone away by ourselves since Christmas, when we went to Hershey for an evening. Even if we don't, I'm relishing the idea of relaxing with my favorite person. There will be movies and snuggle time and little if any computer.

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead tonight, if that applies to you.

I grow sleepyish, so I think that's it for now...
