I never liked Grease.

Y'all, I am a sad cat today.  Hurricane Sandy is a big old bitch, and it tore up a bunch of shit, including the refuge of my childhood summers.  It is particularly poignant because I did not have the pleasure of going home this summer to enjoy it one last time.  You never know the last time is the last time.

Thankfully, however, all family and friends are safe and sound, so that's what counts, especially since I could not personally battle the storm, being Stranded in Chicago, as usual.  My good thoughts go out to everyone who wasn't so lucky.

And I never did like Grease.
