Got the word that power came back on this evening. Stayed for dinner (chicken fried steak Texas style) and a movie and now finally home. Power and water are, indeed, back up and running. Funny how you appreciate the things you usually take for granted after a week like this.
Thanks again to everyone for checking in and special thanks to Josh and Shelley (and Nala and Bodie) for housing us the past day. Your hospitality was amazing and we appreciate it more than we can say.
Tomorrow hopefully I can get downtown where my belt and shoes are, to train. As of now the gym is still out of power, but it is expected to be back on overnight and to open on time at 8am. The question will be how I get there. Subways aren't running below 34th St yet, so I may have to walk the 3 miles or see if I can find a cab. Which are hard to find due to the gas shortage. One way or the other, I'm getting my ass down there.
