one more jew trying to transcend narrowness

Shabbat? Not Shabbat.

We had a power outage this evening. I guess it affected several surrounding blocks... All of the sudden, our best laid plans for the evening — emailing (all the wireless networks on the block, also down), watching a DVD, Amberly's working on her lesson — were quickly laid to rest. Instead, we took a brisk walk around the neighborhood. It felt a bit like Shabbat, the enforced relaxation, the unplugging from the world. A good reminder.
