-Make Andrew s graduation announcement
Almost everything on my list needed the computer to get done. Down near the bottom of my list was decorate Josie s birthday cake. I had baked the cake the day before and I had already researched how to decorate it. All I needed to do was actually finish it. So that s what I did in the half-darkness of my dining room while I waited for the power to come back on.
Funny how the power goes out when it s stormy so you have little natural light to make up for the lack of electricity. Oh, well. I think my cake turned out alright, anyway. Josie liked it so much that she didn t want to have birthday candles ruin it. We sang to her without candles.

What’s in a Name?
I don’t see a lot of new babies being named Robert these days. I used to have such a popular name. What happened?
