As you know, NYC was among the places hit by Hurricane Sandy. Living in central Greenwich Village, I fared better than some in the East and West Village, who experienced some major flooding. Moxie and I are safe and sound, albeit without power and now without much water beyond a modest stockpile, but we weathered the storm with friends, neighbors, and a decent amount of wine.

I'm up at my office (got here on a bus working its way through gridlock traffic) powering up and am headed over to the gym for a hot shower before heading back downtown. I may walk. I want to thank everyone who has offered their hospitality -- Alison, Josh & Jeramy, Rachel & Nagib, Jen, Marjorie, April -- and to the many who have checked in on me. There are many worse off than I and I now have to start thinking about how to help them.
