Re power outage:

Hi Viv,

Everyone is fine. Karen, Lenny & Nikki got their power back very early this
morning. Mom has not her power back yet as of 9:00 this morning. Her spirit
was good when I spoke to her last night.

Ismay's in the Bronx, and I'd asked about her by email. She has let me stay there a couple of times -- so nice of her -- you can see the Bronx Museum of the Arts outside her window. It's next door.



Made me think, of course, about the blackout in the Sixties -- what year was that? I'll have to look and see.
I guessed 1965 and that turned out to be right. November -- so early darkness.
