Hope everything is ok on your end. That bitch Sandy really kicked our asses, didn’t she? No worries, if there’s anything east coasters are good at, it’s bouncing back.

I’m posting from a cell phone so it’s tough to research and write, but later this week I’d like to compile a list of helpers and helpies. Offhand, I know that FEMA is one place to go if your home has sustained damage. More to come if I ever get a new computer.

For those wondering about my Rockaway renovation, I haven’t seen it yet. I’m going to try to make my way out there today. If only the basement was flooded, I’d be thrilled. Expecting the worst: Total loss but hoping for the best. Either way, watching this unfold from the comfort of my Bed Stuy home where the lights didn’t so much as flicker, has been surreal. I may have lost a significant amount of money and time, but there are people who lost everything, including their lives. So, I’m one of the lucky ones either way.

Of course if I find my house under water, I probably won’t be so zen about it.

So, I guess I should head over there now. Fingers crossed.
