Some old Linda Ronstadt tunes would be nice ...

maybe some Blue Bayou or Poor Poor Pitiful Me. I was just secretly gloating about the fact that I had a date tonight when the phone rang. He has no power (ice storm), probably won't have any until Sunday. He said I probably wouldn't want to have a date with a wrinkly guy who hadn't had a shower, and I was thinking... well... and then I thought how I would feel if the tables were turned and I was the one all out of sorts from not having any electricity and not knowing where I was going to crash tonight... So, I no longer have a date for tonight. I hope I offered him my home number graciously enough. He had called me at work to ask me out and we were going to meet at Henry's. Hopefully, he really did want my home phone number and this wasn't just a handy excuse for backing out of the date altogether. So, now I get to spend another lonely evening home with a movie, my books, and a glass of wine- or maybe 2.
