Did the Power Outage Affect Your Relationship

Wasn't this a fun weekend for so many of us living in New England? And I know that many people still don't have power as I write this on Wednesday, December 17.

So how did your relationship handle all the stress? Stress layered on top of the usual Holiday stress, and layered upon the financial stress of this "ecnomic downturn."

My wife and I "evacuated" our house and moved into a pet-friendly motel in Maine with our dog and cat and their "stuff." The motel had no Internet access and no working television. So we were forced for three days to listen to the radio, read, do crossword puzzles, and talk. It was sort of like life before the 1950s.

And you know what? We actually had a good time and communicated better than ever with each other. Interesting.
