Son-of-a-wrek and family are here for the night. Their power is off. So far ours is hanging on. The Hughes net is acting assy and the DirecTV has had a few blips. But, never-you-mind Son-of-a-wrek is on a roll. The comedy show carries on. He’s also playing bartender. These people are fools. He wants them drunken and laughing. It warms his heart to play for an audience. It’ll all be fine til Mr. Wrekker has had enough. He’ll run the kids to bed. Then try it with the ‘womenfolk’ And the Lil’wrekker will lawyer up. She has a platform she reads from at these occasions. Then the rest will back her up. Woe be the man who stands up to her, on this. And they all know it. So it oughta be fine. Me? I’m hiding. ---

I gotta get my eyes checked. The first time I read that, I thought it said “Me? I’m holding.” and I was going to ask if Ivy knew that. ---

The storm continues. Power has went off here as well. Seems trees and limps are falling allover the county. We have a generator and other resources so we’re fine. Except the kids are all wanting online. Pop-pop told them than wasn’t a necessary thing. Groans heard 'round the world. ---

You still holding, or did you smoke it all up? Gotta do something when the internet and cable are out… ---

It’s actually a bench in the living room where I sit a fake cactus. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > And the Lil’wrekker will lawyer up. She has a platform she reads from at these occasions. I love this so much. I hope storm recovery is under way. Though we didn’t get the storm, we are freezing our collective asses off as we handle a two-day dip into the deep freeze that our gas utility is having trouble keeping up with. Yes, I want to know why because we didn’t have this issue last year. But the pipes are not freezing and I can still cook so I can deal with it. ---

No power yet. Generator is cooking along. I’ll have Son-of-a-wrek and family again tonight. ---
