It's not fun being left at home

Charlene and the kids are away visiting in Philadelphia visiting Char's sister and her new baby, and the house is QUIET. Man, I'm not used to this.

Today is Charlene's birthday and I should be cutting the cake or something right now. Instead I'm watching dogs sleep and making myself some Madras Chicken. I'm learning it's a lot more fun to be the one traveling, which is my normal mode, rather than the one left behind.

Did I mention the house is quiet? By the way, anyone want a sleeping dog? Or two?

Sometimes it's good to get some peace and quiet from your wife.

Hey, I feel for you. I'm sitting at a hostel in Wellington, New Zealand, with 10 days left before I see my family again. I think it's cool to travel, but it's decidedly uncool to not have my wife and kids around.

I guess your thesis will be finished in the next few days!? Happy Birthday to Charlene!

Sleeping dog? I already have one of those! Meds have kept me up all night, but at least one of us is sleeping! Many happy returns to Char.
