We had a power blip about 20 minutes ago that lasted about five minutes. Luckily I had just finished a dub and dinner was already finished.

I don't think I'll dub anything else off tonight... :-)

We have a battle plan when the power goes off during the winter. On the door to the den are two spring curtain rods set one behind the other. One holds the curtain that holds the heat in in the wintertime and the cool in during summer, the other holds a long curtain of screening for spring and fall when we have the curtain open, so Pigwidgeon won't go flying upstairs. Should the power go off again, and for a long time, we'll decamp to the living room and turn on the gas log. Pidge will get the seat next to the stereo which is closest to the fire without him being on the hearth. One of the spring rods will be placed across the entrance into the kitchen from the with a double sheet draped over it to the floor; the other will go across the stairway to upstairs with another double sheet. This will keep what heat accumulates in the living room and kitchen in.

We survived a six-hour power failure in an ice storm several years ago by doing this. I snuggled up on a pad next to the fireplace and James unfolded the bed in the loveseat. Willow never did figure out what was going on.
