last night as mrs w and i were watching a video the power went out. after sitting patiently for about 7.5 minutes mrs w got some candles out. so we talked a bit and i decided to read a bit by candlelight to see how it was for abraham lincoln.

i was working on muhammad ali's autobiograhpy "the greatest" for the second time.

it was very pleasant. the house was completely silent. a very rare thing. so i read for maybe 45 minutes and went to bed. then i got up and turned off all the lights so that when the power came back on it wouldn't wake us up.

finished the book this morning. he beat george foreman. again.

and the power was on again. and i woke up at the usual time. without the alarm.
