It’s been about a week since Irene left town. I hope the door didn’t hit her _____ on the way out. Anyhow, the mess she left was pretty bad. She left the lights off for many thousands of people in Rhode Island, not to mention for a lot of other peeps along the east coast. Some still don’t have power. All this and dad apparently went MIA for a while. His phone lines were down, and he’s not one for having his cell phone on his person. But he’s fine, and his sister (Aunt Marjorie) and nephew (Neil) in the UK can rest easy (they had called Keith asking about his whereabouts).
