Downed lines

The power went out for five hours last Friday. During that time, I was supposed to be working, but there wasn't a whole lot of emailing or Excel maneuvering I could do while I was in the dark. I took the opportunity to curl up against our (one and only) window with some books and get some reading out of the way.

Oddly enough, the first thing I read was a John Updike short story called "Outage" -- Updike's not my favorite, but I was charmed by the synchronicity of it all.
