I’ve had so much going on this week that I really didn’t
have time to pay attention to what was going on with Hurricane Irene. Sure, I
knew she was kicking up dude in the middle of the Atlantic and had the Bahamas
in her sight. Shoot, I even heard that North Carolina was in the path and that
the entire East Coast would feel effects of her wrath. Yeah, that’s what
happens when hurricanes sweep up the Atlantic, we get storms.
I heard folks on the streets of New York talking about it
like it was going to be the storm of the century and saw events being cancelled
in advance of the storm’s arrival. It was all routine to me until I saw they
were closing the casinos in Atlantic City and telling the good people in Cape
May to get the F out! In the back of my mind I heard Kevin Hart say, “This sh*t
just got real!” and I sprang into action. Me and the Woman watched the latest
reports, cancelled all weekend plans and started to assemble our emergency
supply list.
Yup, I became a victim of “Hurricane Hysteria” and showered
quickly to hit the streets to pick up the essentials needed for such dire circumstances:
Doritos, popcorn, water ice, lunchmeat, and Moscato. Yeah, that’s what we
needed. We have a freezer filled with food, water is stocked up and the
flashlights keep a fresh set of batteries, so we’re always prepared for when
anything goes down. I just wasn’t prepared for it to go down this weekend; I still
had much on my calendar to cram into the final three days
of my summer, but Mother Nature had other plans for that. Instead, I’ll be
curled up on the couch, watching movies, HGTV and napping with the woman I
love, that works too…
