After a huge storm last light, half of Southeast Michigan is without power. We're fine at home, but my office is dark, so I'm on standby until the power comes back. According to DTE Energy and AnnArbor.com, it could be awhile. We have power at home, but since our recent move we still don't have internet yet, so we're hanging out at a Panera Bread in an area of the grid that is still running.
The move went great. We have some awesome friends that came over on Saturday to help us move furniture. About 20% of our stuff is still at the old place, but we have until the 15th to turn in our keys, so we're taking the rest little by little.
For the Fourth, we hung out with some friends, grilled burgers and played lawn games. Their were no fireworks in A2, so we watched the DC and Detroit displays on TV. In Detroit they fire them from boats on the river between Detroit and Windsor, Canada. I'm seriously considering going to Windsor to watch the fireworks next year, just for the story.
Corey is putting the final touches on his piece for Italy. It's for solo electric guitar and electronics. I've heard bits on Sibelius play-back, but he hasn't sat me down to listen to the whole thing. I'm a little bummed because we got the schedule for the festival the other day and I'm going to miss all of the concerts. However, I get to take Italian lessons every morning and a cooking class on Tuesday evening. I'm getting really excited!
We finally booked our tickets and we'll be staying in New York for the weekend before heading to Milan. We'll be staying at Corey's cousin's apartment. She'll be gone for a bridal shower, but we'll just hang out with her husband for the weekend. I'm not holding my breath, but I REALLY want to see the Book of Mormon!
