I have been engrossed in hurricane news, following it on the Weather Channel and my computer. I am thrilled that Amelia didn't even lose power and her biggest challenge was boredom. I wonder about other people I know--and places, like Vermont.

It was cool in the morning and I started some bread, as well as making bacon and pancakes for us. Ray and I went to UUFA and sang with the choir, which was well received. It was Bread Day--once a month, someone goes to Panera and collects the leftover bread at the end of the day. So you can buy day-old bagels, 6 for $1. I bought 6 bags and we froze them.

We came home and had lunch with my Dad, who was working on his computer at our house. We made salad nicoise, except not with potatoes and green beans. I read on Chow.com that if you steam eggs instead of boiling them, they are easier to peel. And it worked! We had plenty of peppers, but just a few tomatoes--tasty though. Captain did a load of laundry and hung it out. He is very sad and lonely, but he is going to audition for Rose of Athens tonight. He is working on two monologues--I'd love to be there.

In the afternoon, I did some computer stuff and made some chicken curry. When we were ready to eat, Ray froze most of it and served the rest up with some leftover rice. I admit we watched TV while we ate it. It was delicious, I have to say, and reminded me of Sushanth's recipe--catsup and cream. It's nice to know that we have three more meals of it.

We had our third dance lesson at 8, but when we got there, they were having auditions and we had to wait a while for a room. It was fun and we can now foxtrot and swing, to some extent. Not sure how long we'll remember if we don't practice.

Fell asleep watching John Stewart.
