Another crisis has come and gone in New York City, and I’m happy to say that I made it through the 2003 blackout — the largest blackout in U.S. history — unscathed and in good spirits. Here in the East Village, we lost power for 29 hours, from 4:10 PM on Thursday around 9:10 PM on Friday, making us just about the last people in New York City to get our juice back.

I’m working on a lengthy writeup of my experience during the blackout, including some photos taken by my girlfriend. It has almost nothing to do with baseball, but I thought my readers might enjoy a first-hand account of the situation beyond the usual news reports. My piece should be up in the next couple of days.
