Status Report:

Power has come back to the apartment, after it went out at 6 or so last night and stayed there until around 4 AM. Everyone's safe and sound, and so is all the food for the holiday party. April and I decided that since it was going to be about 10 degrees out last night, we took our food out of the refrigerator and stuck it out on the porch.

So all is good, people are on their way here.

However, I did have a good opportunity last night, in total darkness, to take a nude photo shoot with April, since I had the benefit of a tripod, film, and tons of tea candles. I'll be seeing the product of that shoot today.

So yes, we've got power, and as a result, one of our roast beasts for the party (and tonight's dinner) is in the oven. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM...
