It just seems wrong to be contemplating writing a trivial Mondayitis when Hurricane Sandy is menacing parts of America. It feels so wrong it’s actually taken me half an hour to write this short piece whereas yesterday’s article only took 40 minutes. I have family and friends there, I’m hoping when it’s all over to find they’re in one piece each.

In the meantime I hope everyone has either evacuated or is in a safe position and has enough food and water to get them through. Please check in at the end and let me know how you went.
