Getting back to basics

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Last night the much anticipated snow finally arrived.? The great big fluffy flakes came down with big gusts of wind.

I was just settling down to my session on the comuter.? The usual read blogs, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter or just catchup on what’s going on out there.

None of this happened as with the big wind came the power outage.? I thought nothing of it until I tried my computer, phone, dvd player ….

  • computer battery died
  • no internet connection
  • no phone
  • no movies on portable dvd player, battery died
  • no power at the gym
  • no power at the coffee shop
  • saving cell for emergencies

What was I supposed to do?? It’s was too early to go to bed?

This is when I realized that my life revolves around technology that all depends on power from the outlet or batteries.? A lot of my spare time is spent using such technologies.

This was the time to get back to basics

  • had a snowball fight
  • built a mini snowman
  • read a book by candle light

What would you do if you had no power?
