I walked outside at about 7:30 last night to put out the trash and just stopped and took a minute to stare up at the sky and listen. It was dead quiet without even the sound of rustling leaves and I found myself forgetting what I was supposed to be doing. I started having thoughts of getting in the car to head south for a couple of hours.
Then, I heard the door open and my wife ask me to come in to read my son a story and give him cough medicine before putting him to bed. Right then the mood was killed.
