Adam went to Washington, DC for the
NGLCC national dinner, which leaves the house to me for a day or two. There are definitely moments when I miss him powerfully, but for the most part 2 days is actually a nice bit of alone time, I think. After watching two Chinese films at two locations in the city Friday night, I turned down a chance to hang out with university folks and rode my bike home. The night was very still, and the route through Loring Park, downtown and the West Bank was unusually empty.
I made a nice little bachelor dinner and ate while I worked, papers and plates together on the table. I slept. I'm up again, now cooking oatmeal as the unusually warm sunlight streams into the kitchen. Everything's perfectly quiet, except for the sound of oatmeal bubbling. Oh, and the cat, who can be quite noisy. He's playing outside, but I'm sure he'll be back soon.
