Lights Out

our house has become the location of choice for mike's study group. i don't mind actually because even though we don't see each other all night, it's nice having him home. plus, we certainly have the space.

tonight, his group met to prepare their final communications presentation next week. i decided to do my homework and study for my accounting test downstairs while they took over the dining room upstairs. all was going well when out of the blue, we found ourselves sitting in the dark.

turns out, the wind had blown the grid on our block.

after some fumbling around in the dark, we were able to find enough candles to keep us all in business and within a half hour the lights came back on.

no harm, no foul.

the most hilarious part of it all though...coming upstairs at the end of their meeting to see four grown men sitting around a table, laptops open, candy wrappers a plenty, lights blaring and 15 tea lights still lit in the middle of the table.

why they didn't blow out the candles when the lights came on i'll never know.
