A couple of ways to bide the time while Irene does her thang:
Order pizza, because apparently Domino’s is open even during hurricanes.
Decorate your notebooks for next year with a women in Klimt theme. Consider being less dorky, but then decide against it. After all, 10 years ago, each notebook would have it’s own Backstreet Boy. The more they change…
Play 3-card poker with family, using one cent coins. (I knew there was a reason we keep hoarding them.)
It sounds like a thousand running faucets outside.
