Candlelit Jenga, East Ukrainian Village, Chicago

On Sunday when I got home at 4pm the power was out. It came on briefly at 10pm and then was out until about 1:30am. Playing Jenga by candlelight reminded me of playing Rummikub by candlelight in the 2003 NY blackout.. except this blackout was much shorter.. and more sober.
