What's In That Brain Of Yours?



Sometimes I wonder what's going on in Conor's head.  Well, more than just sometimes, I suppose. Most of the time.

We all come at life's experiences from our own perspective, so I thought I would sit down with Conor and see if I could figure out what his perspective might be on The Big Power Outage.

Would he talk about his angst?  He certainly expressed it at every opportunity during the experience. Would I have a glimmer of how he remembered it? How he processed it?

I wasn't too successful.  His answers are short. Brief without being concise. Not truly illuminating, sad to say.  (Sad for me, I mean.)

He answered my questions, factually anyway.  Nothing more. Just the facts, ma'am.

A storm. The lights out. A visit to my parents.  A motorcycle ride or two. (My dad has a Harley.) His cousin makes a brief mention.

I would have made it longer, but he insisted on 2 minutes, 45 seconds.  Hey, the Director can't argue with the talent. We survived the severe storm (technically called a derecho), but we still are coping with the after-effects.

Technically, I think it's pronounced da-RAY-cho.

You're not kidding. I feel like a whole week has been sucked into some wicked vortex that we're still climbing out of. Do you know some people in the next county over lost their power AGAIN today?
