School is cancelled today due to Frankenstorm’s monster. We don’t have a fireplace, so we’re just eating and watching television until the power goes out. Actually, we live in Peabody, which has a major mall, so we never lose power or cable. You can’t get a mall in your town unless your town never loses power or cable. That’s why Chatham will never get a mall.
Hurricane Sandy now apparently covers 15,000,000 square miles, so we must be feeling a few of her effects at this point. A few small tree limbs appear to have fallen, but my hurricane dream has not yet taken place, my dream for the hurricane to blow all of the crappy, plastic toys from our backyard far enough down the road for them to be adopted by neighbors we do not know. Come on, Sandy! Come on!
