I never was at work today.  I was doing some artwork in the bedroom while waiting to take off when I came out and saw two phone messages (my hearing isn't that great, and my door was closed) from my brother informing me that the work day was canceled.  I'll be sure to have the cell phone on tomorrow morning in case there's another cancelation call.

   Right now, of course, Sandy is crossing New Jersey and appears to have taken on the characteristics of a particularly strong Nor'Easter.  The tropical aspects are almost all gone.  Still windy as heck, but it looks like her path will take her north of my house, which means that I'll end up inside the band of heavy rain wrapping around her southwestern quarter for the rest of tonight.  The winds have shifted around to the west.

   There was a two-second blip on the power around 6:00 tonight, but it came right back on.  Looks like I could luck out.  I know that other aren't so lucky, especially on the Jersey Shore and in NYC where the storm surge has had its effect.  By daybreak tomorrow, I may see just how much damage has been done with all the wind gusts, flooding, etc.

Signing off.
