"And Sandy, the aurora is rising behind us. This pier lights our carnival life forever. Oh, love me tonight, for I may never see you again. Hey, Sandy girl, my, my, baby." ~bruce springsteen

I have another day off tomorrow thanks to Sandy. Today I ventured outside to look around and to meet a friend for dinner, and luckily my neighborhood wasn't hit too hard. I saw one store awning that had fallen and a handful of fallen trees, but it seems like we got pretty lucky compared to what others in NY and NJ are facing. And I never lost power, which is a blessing. I've seen tons of pictures and videos of what's happening elsewhere, and I'm in awe of the devastation. I feel for everyone hit hard by the storm and am thinking of and praying for them.
