How To Live On An Island


Hurricane Jeanne came through. C and I boarded up the house, and then got cozy. We made 2 pots of coffee and put in thermos's. We made a HUGE bowl of salted popcorn. She made chicken wings, and mashed cauliflower, and iced down lots of beer and vodka. And then we waited. We were glued to the weather channel, watching this huge thing rotate right off our beach. We kept walking over to the east windows and looking through a tiny crack in the shutters, looking for a storm surge to come rushing down the street. We waited, ate, drank, played cards, waited. Stayed glued to the TV. About midnight, I got too restless. I asked her to remove one of the shutters so we can watch the beach. We never lost electric. Finally around 3 am, we finally collapsed in bed. Woke up to sand everywhere, but we still had power. And there went Jeanne. Gone like the wind. And we were hungover, and full of salty foods.
