There's nothing we like more than 'nothing'

Alise and I have been wondering what to do with ourselves on the Labor Day weekend.

Leading so far is the opportunity to spend a couple of days in complete and total isolation, at a cabin in northern Maine. This cabin has not any running water, no electricity, no internet, no inside toilet, no neighbors, no nothing. And to us, this sounds perfect.

Funny really. Humanity has spent thousands of years developing society, convenience, things that make us feel comfortable and things which make our lives easier. We then choose, even pay money; for the opportunity to live without them.

As things stand, I'm not sure if we are going away, my emails today to the owner of the cabin have gone unanswered. If we can't go, we could always stay at home and cut the wires to the electricity and turn off the water. That'll be the same, right?
