Silence and Stillness

by Paul Brown on 27 June 2004

So, the house is now quiet, what with The Usual Suspects being gone from Sunday Dinner. just left to go have a drink or a cigar with Alan W. at the Best Western Lone Star. and just got a ride home with , and took his two heterosexual friends to some place to get them a bite to eat. Except for B’harnee, who is always in the Big Dog House (John’s bedroom), I have the place to myself.

One of the things I always enjoyed about living by myself in the past is the stillness when I’m alone. I miss that about living in my apartment in Sacramento – even though I had a roommate, he wasn’t there except at night to sleep, pretty much. Being able to be alone seems precious to me, mostly because I don’t get much of it these days.

I love those Sunday Dinner folk, but sometimes I just wish we didn’t have to have that event every week.
