Anyone done this before?

BTW, I'm all for the blog revival, I just wish my life was more interesting so I would have more to share.

Have you ever played the game where you try to think of something you have done that no one else has? Well, I might have done something today that might win. We are staying in the Congress Plaza Hotel, right on Michigan Ave. in Chicago. What makes it affordable is that it is "historic". That's what it says in the hotel's marketing brochure. We have interpreted that to actually mean "old." So, this morning we got up, ready to go and I was preparing for a shower when the lights went off. Turns out the electricity was out just in our room. Apparently you can't have the computer and phone charging, the coffee pot making coffee (Laura is with me) and the iron on and expect to maintain electricity. It was completely black in the bathroom but I needed my shower. Laura said she wished she had a flash light and suddenly I had an idea. The screen of my laptop gave off a lot of light so I took it in the bathroom and put it on the back of the toilet and proceeded with the shower.

Well, if you have every had to do that, let me know.
