Back at home

VAcation is over. Well, not completely. I just kissed Dutch good-bye
for work. The urban mocking bird sang the car alarm song and even in
the dark we knew we weren't in Idaho anymore. We came home to stacks
of mail and dirty dishes. This is the first time I have been away and
it meant that no one was at home. In the past I always had housemates
to hold down the fort. The mocking bird is going at it again. I miss
Dutch already.
