Today: Lucky in New England.

Welp, we survived Sandy with little more than high winds and a few flying street signs.  We never lost power, and were able to stay safe and dry, save for a few quick walks with Clark.  Unfortunately, this is not true for everyone in the Northeast.  My heart goes out to everyone dealing with the hurricane’s aftermath.

When I took the Frenchie out early yesterday, the Pine Street Inn‘s outreach van was making rounds in our neighborhood, checking in on homeless men and women in the area.  That brought everything into focus for me.  I’ve said it a million times before, but it’s always worth repeating.  I am just so lucky.  I wish I could send some of that luck to the people who really need it right now.

Also On Tap for Today:

• Checking in with my tri-state pals
• Calming my inbox
• Tying up loose ends at work before the “big day”

How did you fare yesterday?  Hope you’re staying safe and sound.
