Shortly after I posted my last post, the power went off again. It didn’t come on again until around 1:15 this morning…which is to say that our power was off from 6PM Friday evening until 1:15 AM Monday morning, with only a two-hour break on Saturday afternoon.

We coped; yesterday, figuring that we were going to be hot, sticky, inconvenienced, and waiting about no matter what we did, we decided we might as well have some fun at the same time…so we spent the day being hot, sticky, inconvenienced, and waiting about at Disneyland. It was a fine time, and included the delightful discovery that my almost five-year-old girl likes rollercoasters. She road Big Thunder Mountain (twice), the Matterhorn, and Space Mountain, and wanted to go on all of them again. (My eldest went on all them as well, but didn’t like the Matterhorn or Space Mountain.)

Today it’s back to work; and for once I’m grateful.
