The "White Nights" of Russian summers are returning. Saturday night we went to bed and it was dark. We have blackout curtains but didn't bother pulling them shut. Well, I woke to very bright sunshine. It was Sunday morning and so I roused the Mrs and told her that likely we would be late for church.

She calmly suggested that I look at a clock because it felt like about 4-5am to her. Okay, but it looked bright and warm enough to be 10am to my eyes. As is most often the case in marriage-the wife was correct. It was only 4:30am upon checking.

We went back to sleep and woke up later-making it to church in plenty of time.
