In celebration of the summer solstice, Shinichi and I took part in the 1,000,000 Person Candle Night (http://www.candle-night.org/).At 8:00pm we turned off our computers, lights, fan, dishwasher, and stereo. Then, with windows open and 5 candles lit, we sat on the tatami and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The point was to detach from "civilization" for two hours and to think about the world as one place, but we actually just fell asleep. I must say it was nice not to have the temptation of the Internet constantly beckoning for attention.

We also celebrated the solstice...the winter (southern hemisphere solstice) by sitting around listening to our teeth chatter as our thermostat is broken!!!
