No, I'm not traveling, it's just that Portland has been experiencing some rather rough winds lately. Our power went out on Saturday just as we were sitting down to dinner and movie. The power outage was limited to our neighborhood with just about 2,000 folks effected. When I went to the gym the next morning (and saw many branches littering the road as well as some power lines leaning further into the road than I was comfortable with), we had another one. That time it was many more people effected. I came home and was not able to open my garage door. The power was off for an additional hour. Knock on wood, that was the excitement for the week. Amusing kids with no power can be more difficult.
Last week, we watched Spiderman 2 with Ethan. He enjoyed it, making it the 3rd big people's movie that he's sat through without being distracting. He commented last night while brushing his teeth how Spiderman is still a kid and how unlikely it should be that he overpowered an adult such as Doc Ock. Dangerously, I told him that age and power are not always equal (well, we have had to argue with him that age and height have no logic either, but that's another story).
As for me, no comment on how I'm doing weight-wise, if only not to jinx myself. Obviously, I'm still reading Jane Austen-esque novels...

My you are getting the weather this year. We have a nice sunny day. Just in time to melt the snow so it can freeze this weekend and be really icy. How we like it that way.
