Flickers

My power just flickered off and on. How can something that only lasts a fraction of second create 15 minutes of angst? There were TV’s that turn themselves on when this happens that needed to be shut off, the DSL router had to be reset from it’s .6 second powerless confusion, two pc’s to reboot, and then once my desktop was back up, well, my train of thought was totally gone. What was I writing? And more important, what was that next sentence going to be? I know it was going to be awesome.

Thankfully the surge protectors all seem to have done their thing, so the only victim to this interruption was my productivity.
