I'm glad I'm not a caveman

You know, there are experiences that make us stronger. There are experiences that remind us how lucky we are to live the life we live. There are experiences that make us want to do better for ourselves. This has not been one of those experiences. What is this, you may ask? My power has been out since Monday, and there is no indication when it will be restored. There are a number of houses in my area that are without it currently. I've been staying with friends for the past few nights, and while I'm extremely lucky to have people who are willing to house me, it still SUCKS to not be able to program my Tivo and surf the internet on my own computer. But, I do feel bad complaining. There are people who don't have anywhere to go, and I've got people breaking down my door trying to offer me a place to stay. In other news, I'm going to a John Edwards fund raiser on Friday evening. I'm not necessarily a John Edwards supporter (although, I don't actively dislike him either). Boyd Tinsley (and shame on you if you are reading my blog and don't know he is) is going to be there - and I feel certain that we're going to hang out and become best friends forever. We may even get air-brushed t-shirts.
