Wife and kids are out of town, job gets over at five home by six, house looks immaculate, yard is mowed, hedges are trimmed, leaves are raked... and I never realized how truly tedious late night television really is when you don't hear screaming and yelling in the background. I always wondered what life would be like if it was just me again, and I got my answer; the silence is weird and uncomfortable. Is this what being retired is like? I hope not. I'm actually looking forward to when they get back on Sunday evening.
