Pancakes look great...mmmmmm. I also hope all is well with you. Btw, last Thursday (during my well desrved week off) I had just crossed over the GW Bridge into Jersey when the Blakout hit, although I did not know it at the time. Made it to my Bro's house in West Jersey (not affected by blackout) and I was poolside BBQing and enjoying various beverages through the evening. Only later did I see on TV there was a major black out in the Noth East including my home on LI. If I had delayed my leaving home for one hour I never would have made it off the Island and would have been stuck in one giant traffic jam. Sometimes you do get a bit lucky. I believe you folks in MD were spared so am I am happy for that.

As always, may god protect and keep safe all our service people. As well, many thanks to all those who support them.

Wow, sounds like you were lucky. When I saw the "mass exodus" from NY, I thought how frustrating that must have been. Good news that you were "pool-side" and enjoying life. Yes, we here in Maryland were spared. But, it makes you think, ya know?

Sorry breakfast is late. Glad to hear that you were able to escape the blackout and have a fun time in its place. How about some pancakes on the side?

Good evening, never4get. It's great to see you. I'm glad to hear you're OK from the black out recently. Is everything up and running now?
