It's a Little Too Quiet Around Here

Today is Rose's first day teaching class at UW-Fox. 8:00am and it's really quiet here. There's no sound except for a train coming somewhere from the South, probably heading through downtown, and a ticking clock in the living room behind me. No whirring from the fan or air conditioner, the boys are sleeping. Plus, it's dreary outside, so the whole state of affairs seems a little off.
