Nor’easter

 So, the nor’easter.  Not too bad here, just some damage to our neighbor’s fence Friday night, which he repaired Saturday afternoon.  Other parts of the island experienced downed trees, flooding and power outages.  

Still, we hunkered down, ordered takeout from the local pizza place (they have excellent gluten free pizza and pasta!) Saturday night, and watched  TV — lots of stuff on the DVR.

one thing Drew and I watched was an episode of a documentary series he’s been recording from PBS.  It’s a series on the history of New York City, and the episode we watched started with 9/11, quickly moved to the financial crisis of 2008 and Occupy Wall Street , then on to Superstorm Sandy in 2012 before focusing  on the pandemic, and the Black Lives Matter/George Floyd, and ending with the election of Mayor Mamdani and the Knicks winning the championship in 2026. As two suburbanites who once lived and/or worked in the city, the stories told in the episode are so familiar to us. History that changed our lives, playing on our TV screen …

They say the storm will intensify again tonight, that tomorrow will be windy and rainy, but it’ll all be over tomorrow night.
