Well, I have to admit, the 73rd day did not go as I thought it would. On the even of 3/14/17, we actually knew ahead of time (by 10:30PM) that Penn, Temple, and OPS were all closed. So we got to sleep in late, but were surprised, at 8:55AM that the power went out. And, for four and half hours, we scrambled to make due. Luckily we had cranked up the heat overnight (actually in anticipation of this), and the phone still worked so I was able to do all of the conference calls I needed, and the girls just huddled in their beds, warm under the covers. I even started the stove with a lighter, to make them hot chocolate after some shoveling outside! And the power came back on before I had to start in on the melting ice cream. :-) And my work conference calls were productive, and inspiring, as we figured out the best direction to take the facets of our projects. Persevering through the unknown, at home and work, and realizing that, even in bad tines, we have it better than a lot of other people in this state, this country, this world leaves me humbled, and feeling blessed and inspired. Stay Warm and Dry everyone!
