We got the power back on! And the Cable/Internet too! What a wacky day, six and a half hours ago, the lights in (only) the bedrooms and bathrooms went out which knocked out the internet too... The fridge and garbage disposal were hit too I figured out, as we tried the breakers. Turned on the TV to check it, still had a signal... Then POOF, the cable was gone... Fifteen minutes later the rest of the power in the apartment goes out. The hallways only have emergency lighting, etc. Fortunately I had called when there was still just a partial outage, so techs from both companies were already on scene. The whole complex was out. They dug up the underground cable & had tower trucks on the poles...

What a trip. Got to finally check out that Margaritas in East Hartford though - and that was great.

I think the book is difficult because it offends my "western feminist sentiments." Otherwise, I do find it well written, lots of imagery and metaphor, etc. Also, it is a portrait of life back around WWII. I've read worse (more repressive or violent) tales from behind the veil. I appreciate that it stretches my mind and forces me to contemplate strict Muslim seclusion/morals/values, etc.

Oh, am I supposed to save this for the book night get together?
::sheepish grin::

Thursday night sounds great, let me know when to meet you there.

Enjoy your omelet!
