Disppointingly, my Arnold Palmer was a virgin.

Arnold Palmer.

I'm interested. I've never been to Austin and would love to check it out. Will they let me drive in the race?

Four Roses.

I could shoot myself for picking Plaxico...

Good job Brent. The problem with the pks is that they start causing their own set of problems, so it's good that youre cognizant of the need to wean off of them. Sorry you have to go through this. And yay Vicki!

Four Roses.

Exactly, Haj. I think he did the right thing. Being overprepared can be inconvenient. Underpreparation can be deadly. The wind is still nice and strong by us, btw.

Back in our apartment, where things are fine. The Mayor will get a lot of shit for a perceived overreaction, but it could have gone either way down here--we got lucky. Now time to assess damage out east.

I hope damage is minimal for everyone. Sorry to hear about the damage Jeff. Sounds like my bldg is fine. But we are not yet allowed back.

Power fine here in Manhattan, but worried about flooding in battery park city.

Some cheap but tasty cava. Soon some cab. Then some whiskey. Bring it, Irene, you windy bitch. (but, you know, please don't really bring it.)

Pre-storm:

Happy birthday, Posty!

lol. Not so much.

Drove home from a soon to be flooded East Hampton...to a soon to be flooded Battery Park City. Joy.

I should have made a drink instead of having this beer.

Pilsner Urquell. blech czech.

Left the Hamptons this afternoon along with everyone else. Packed up for a couple of days at my MIL's palce because our neighborhood in NYC is being evacuated. Fuck.

Lagunitas Lucky 13.

Are you being evacuated? This is one of those times I wish I had a weapons closet.

Nope, still fucked.

Command-R seems to have worked. I don't know what these people do to computers, but all they have to do is glance at them and they stop working. I need to go home.

My parents' Mac Mini just started throwing the Prohibitory Sign.
