AND PROUD OF IT (December 27, 2009)

Sunday. Just after eight o’clock in the evening. Calm and unseasonably warm weather. After a number of ominous flutters, the power is cut for no less than seventy-five minutes. A full hour and a quarter, that is. No explanation for the calamity, except that this is Motovun. Medieval to boot. And proud of it. To hell with electricity!
