Night Life

It's not as easy to post as many life stories as I used to with my new job.  Even though it's very part time, it has made my days go by very quickly.  One of the things I miss about working until 2 a.m. is morning.  I used to wake up before everyone else and enjoy a couple hours all by myself with my cup of coffee and my computer.  But there have been some cool things about driving home at 2:30 in the morning.  On several nights I've slowed down to watch deer eating along the side of the road.  One night I saw a fox dart across the road.  Last night I watched the lightning storm illuminate the sky for awhile.  I have a hard time walking away from lightning storms.  They are so beautiful and powerful at the same time.  Tonight on the way home there was so much fog I had to drive way under the speed limit because the visibility was so bad.  I usually don't take the time to sit down and write this late at night, but my dogs greeted me and then wanted some time outside before they go back to bed and I didn't want to forget to write about the night life I've seen.  At 41 years old, my "nightlife" is a lot different than it was when I was 21.  As Martha Stewart would say, "it's a good thing."
