quiet time

My wife has gone to see the latest Star Trek movie with her father, and I just put my daughter to bed.  The television is off, the dishes are washed, and I have a moment of quiet time.  It's nice.  

This has been a beautiful day in NYC.  Soon, summer's oppressive heat and humidity will be with us like the insistent housecat who must rub against your leg when you're wearing dark trousers.  I'm a fan of late fall, winter, and early spring.  Today has been good.
