Saturday Kevin, Alex, Ana, and I had a family meeting to discuss which night we were going to unplug as part of the 52 Nights Unplugged Project. The idea is no electronic entertainment -- no video games, no movies, no Internet -- one evening a week for a whole year. After much deliberation we chose Sunday, and so last night was going to be Unplugged Night #1.

Well folks, it didn't happen. What did happen was taxes. And work.

We had gotten up a little late, around 11, and after a lovely brunch Kevin settled down at the dining table with his laptop, the copy of TurboTax we bought from Costco, and the gigantic file folder that I had stuffed full of pay stubs, receipts, and anything else vaguely tax related. I sat down across from him with my laptop, intending to do just a little bit of work.

Nine hours later, Kevin was still doing the taxes, and I was still working.

Today I got some news that should change my work habits quite a bit. At the least I think it means we'll actually unplug next Sunday.
