How did you spend it?
I had just arrived at a friend's house where he had already started making me dinner; a delightful feast of pork loin marsala with grilled red skins and asparagus. I warned him that we had forty minutes to turn off the lights. I'm sure images of a different sort raced through his head, so I quickly started to explain about Global Earth Hour. He quickly complied come eight o'clock. He was outside tending the grille while I shut off all the lights I could see starting to light candles all around. We even started the film, United States of Leeland -which I highly recommend, during the Hour and he only protested when I insisted we turn a light back on when nine o'clock rolled around. If single men were more politically and environmentally active, I'm sure we'd have 'Global Earth Four Hours' every Friday and Saturday nights!
**across the globe, lights were turned off for one hour at 8pm EST on Saturday, March 29th, 2008**

That was great! So was 'The hour' profitable for him? Hand holding at the very least?
no, no.. just a friend who I want to remain a friend, though I think he'd hoped to have more time to make his moves before the lights came on!
bummer for him...
