I won’t be doing my show tonight.  I was all set with a great program lined up, and then the power went out.  What is this, Iraq?

Seriously, my studio is in my home in Miami.  We pay a fortune to Florida Power & Light for the privilege of having electricity.  But as happens all-too-often, especially in the summer when the mercury tops 96 degrees (like today), the power just goes poof.

I was in the studio, reading and getting ready for the show, and *pop*… off it went.  When I called FPL, I was told that 155 households were affected — a main line was down, and the power would be back on by 6:30.

Yeah, right…  It’s 6pm now and I got a robo call from FPL a few minutes ago saying they had a technician on the scene determining the cause, and would keep me posted until 10pm.

So, thanks to Kenny Pick and company for filling in for me tonight, and I’ll talk to you tomorrow!
