I'm in my Portland studio today, doing a couple of blogposts, and working on a portrait. At home in Woolwich we are on day three of no power. High winds on Friday knocked down trees and powerlines. So we've been flushing our toilets with water from the stream, heating with the woodstove, cooking on the gas range, washing dishes in the snow, and reading by candlelight. It's felt very good to be off the grid. I'm thinking of making this a practice - no radio, no TV, and no computer for one day a week. Ahhhhh....
