My Son (now 22) turned off the TV and his cell phone too and went out and
built a little campfire in the fire pit and got out the outdoor lounge chair
and then took our black lab out to sit with him by the fire.
update .....
He just asked if I wanted to come sit by the fire w/him.
Guess Rachel M. can do her show without me.

I bet we all need more of that some days.
