How Have You Coped Without Power?

With hundreds in town still powerless, there have presumably been some creative ways of making do without electricity. What are yours?

With National Grid reporting on its website Friday morning that power may not be restored to some unlucky residents until as late as Saturday night, some Marlborians will have had to suffer through the entire week without electricity.

According to National Grid, Marlborough is down to about 30 homes still without power as of 11:30 a.m.

Whether you've had your power restored, or are reading this on your laptop at Panera or another local WiFi spot, please share with us your "without power" stories. Did you play board games by candelight? Ensure that your kids' rooms were cleaner than they've ever been? Use the grill like it's going out of style? Get out of town for a bit? Spend a lot of money eating out or going to the movies?
