     As a kid do you remember when the power went out?It never seemed like a big deal.  We played outside (if the storm had passed) or read a book or played games.  If the storm was bad you might also lose the phone.  Eh...didn't really matter.     On Tuesday we lost power for 11 hours, the phone and internet were down for 9 hours.  As we have a generator the power is no big deal, our refrigerator and freezers did just fine.  For our family, the internet outage wasn't a big deal other than the lack of availability of information from the power company.  Honestly, even without the phone we were fine.     I hope everyone was able to shrug it off but I have a feeling that some families suffered meltdowns.  Hope everyone learns to just relax and breathe.
