Not to minimize the pain of all that...but that was ONE funny list!
hmm so Florida is not only about sunshine. Many Haitians living in Florida were really badly affected by that last hurricane, many people say that for many days they had to live in conditions similar (worse) to those in Haiti, no water, no electricity, unable to cook anything... it seems the hurricane caught them by surprise...Your blog has changed a bit.
Here are few more to add to your list...
1. You go to work early and stay late just to enjoy the air conditioning.
2. You now know how to comb your hair while holding a flashlight over your head.
3. With no electricity you can now show your kids that there really are stars!
4. Your new skylight in the bedroom is where the roof WAS.
