Happy April Fools, everyone. If there was an April Fools Story on Morning Edition this a.m., I completely fell for it.
Of course, April 1 has another meaning for me.
Last night at 11:45, the power went out. Gary had been watching tv and yelled in to the bedroom, “We lost power!”
“I LOST POWER 31 DAYS AGO” I yelled back.
I was up anyway counting down the minutes to the end of the Birthday Month.

Welcome to the end of Gary’s Birthday Month.
Does this mean you get to watch TV again?
Sherri – Sure, only there is no tv to watch.
What the hell was with that power outage? We lost it at the same time, and the surge when it came back on screwed up our garage door. What could’ve gone wrong to take out both of our houses about a mile apart, but only last about 10 minutes?
Hee.
Caroline – Computer glitch? Transformer on T_____s?ErinG – You know I’ll get mine in August.
A Pisces? Is Gary a Pisces? Gah!
Becs – I can never remember. Because of the confusion over his birthdate (“Its the first day of Spring!” Wilma insisted, even today) some years he was a Pisces and some a Taurus. He has a bull personality, not a fish.
Wilma doesn’t know that “the First Day of Spring” shifts around because, well, it’s all Lunar and stuff?
I now fully grasp what it is you are up against.
Sherri – YES. That is exactly IT.
