Despite the power outage, Jeanine was able to prepare a nice meal which we enjoyed by candlelight. The absence of TV, video games, and on-line computers throughout the evening, represented a nice departure from our usual routine. The next time I feel like the family is getting too disconnected by all our electronic distractions (I am as guilty as anyone in this regard), I must remember that our circuit breaker box has a single switch that offers a solution and the ability to reproduce the conditions we enjoyed this evening.
