expecting the power to shut down

by jackie sheeler on July 4, 2007

joseph catalanotto, who suffered through the recent con ed power outage in queens, told the daily news that a blackout “happens when you least expect it”.

dear joseph, please tell me what you do when you ARE expecting a blackout. do you light a candle in the baby’s room? sit in the parlor embracing a flashlight? run to the hardware store for batteries?

i would like to know that feeling, the one where you expect a blackout, know that it’s coming, take the time to prepare…
