It pays to marry an Eagle Scout

The storm of the century week hit this evening and knocked our power out for three hours.  Fortunately, my always-prepared hubby had this bendable emergency light in his arsenal (which looks a lot like that little animated Pixar light), not to mention the spelunker-style head lamp I was wearing, so I could keep cooking.  (The gas stove helped, too.)  Three inches of rain in one hour flooded streets and brought the city to a standstill. Thank goodness for living on higher ground...and I mean that literally, not figuratively.
