Tales from the dark

aka "Notes from Ronnie's Earth Hour"

My neighborhood stayed all lit up. I had to close all the blinds to experience any sort of dark at all. :-)

I read by candlelight and gained huge appreciation for the convenience of a headlamp.

Scrounging for food (without the candle), I pulled from the fridge a jar of what I thought was the yummy Harry & David mustard dip Lori brought me last night. Fortunately, I moved back into candle range to check the label before dipping my pretzels in boullion.

Label mishaps aside, I think I need far less light than I normally use. Maybe I won't be so quick to flip the lights on after this.

The dark was very peaceful. I wonder if Frank and the girls would go for making Earth Hour a regular event in our house...?
