I seldom get quiet time in my own house--when I'm here, the boys and Gerald are usually here, too. I don't wake up before them, and Gerald's still watching TV most nights when I go to bed.
So the fact that I'm sitting here on my couch, with no children fighting, television playing, or game soundtracks in the background is worth savoring.
In a few minutes I've got an IRC chat with my students, and the next few days are stacked up with unfinished work--grading, data analysis, sorting through piles of paper...
But right now, it's quiet. And I'm happy.
