"Noise is the most impertinent of all forms of interruption. It is not only an interruption, but is also a disruption of thought."
- Arthur Schopenhauer

The busy, noisy hey-what-are-you-doing-what's-for-dinner-come-look-at-this-I'll-go-with-you-so-I-can-drive one came home yesterday. And he brought all of these characteristics home with him. He really enjoyed his trip and getting away from all of US for a while. Huh. Go figure.

He changes the whole dynamic of the house just by coming home to it. Upon his return, our house went from sedate to static. It's like the rest of us are the pond and he's the stone that gets skipped across it, leaving little rings of energy spreading out in all directions.

Do me a favor and don't tell him, but we kind of missed him.
