Meditating Ben Franklin


Hello!

Yes medi-freaking-tating!! I hope you had a nice day without me! What’s my story?!... Well, electricity was discovered by Ben Franklin in the eighteen hundreds (or by your nation’s folk hero such as Pierre) and I would have guess that black outs for no apparent reason would be a thing of the past; especially in an electricity producing province. But early yesterday, at 3AM to be exact, there was a loud noise and the lights (I guess, I was sleeping so lights were off) and the A/C went off…. Aaah fck me!! Okay, we’re going to be without them for a couple of minutes…..People people people…. I had McD’s for breakfast (because Tim Hortons or Subway or any other fast food place taste bad according to my boss), then everybody left to be in a place with light while I held down the fort… and the seconds became minutes, then they became hours; my kids came back from school and they were bitching at me as if I was the electric company! We had to order pizza for supper and I had to   reminisce about 1998 when we spent a month in the dark due to the ice storm….that’s when I was young and stupid and in love….not now. WHY???!! Well….well……My wife didn’t show her pretty little face until the lights, the TV and everything powered by electricity came back on…so much for "in better or in worse"…I[‘m getting a generator…BTW, don’t ever tell a pizza guy to include a generator in your order as they don’t get the joke…

Well I’m back, at least until the electricity holds…
