Last week we started monitor-free Mondays, wherein we go without television, computers, and other sit-and-watch type electronic pastimes, one night a week. Here is a report on our second monitor-free evening.
Week 2
We avoided the mutinous stare of our big screen tv by going out to dinner (mmm, cheesy biscuits and blackened fish at Red Lobster). It was nice to eat something other than leftovers. Back home we played with Adam before whisking him off to bath and bed. Then, fearless of Adam's proto-slumbering proximity, David managed to pull out all of the Christmas decoration boxes from our attic in search of his pyramids. Three pyramids, a tablecloth, and a few candle holders made it downstairs, while the haphazard boxes stayed behind, a mess to clean up another day. We rounded out the evening reading; David had his year-end Economist, and I had an interesting article on South African runner (and intersex female) Caster Semenya.
