Fun, weird night




This afternoon about 3:00 we met some great friends for drinks and an early supper so that we could all get back home safely before too late.  It's been a snowy, windy day as you can tell by the "pond" we passed on the way to the  Bistro.  It was nice to be in a warm cozy bar with the howling weather outside.  We were having a great time and the about 4:30 the power went out.  It wasn't long before it got dark and the few of us remaining were sitting in the dark by candlelight.  We started singing songs with the one other group in the bar.  It turns out one of the guys at the other table was a Broadway musical actor (at least that's what they said) and had an amazing voice.  Of course, we thought we did too....(did we say alcohol was involved?).  Since there was a wood oven the restaurant fixed us good pizzas.  Finally we left in the pitch dark.  We've been in some cold situations before, but with the 15 degree weather and near white out conditions driving home, it seemed like one of the coldest nights we've ever seen.  Oh yeah, obviously the power came back on.
