A Young Widower's Tale

Fog, rain, and dancing with Aidan I have a tendency to like weather that we don’t see much in Utah. Thunderstorms for example. I like those. Days where there’s nothing but grey skies and rain – I like those too. But I think foggy days have to be my favorite. The last three mornings as I’ve had to drive to work in thick fog. And I love every minute of it. I don’t mind that it takes an extra five to 10 minutes to arrive at work. Driving in fog is more like an adventure as I early await to see what each black shadow will morph into as it comes into focus. Foggy mornings and rainy afternoons – weather I could live with every day. *** I’m looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday. Not only does that mean that I can get a badly needed break from work but that work will slow down a little until the end of the year. Lately I’ve come home from work every evening mentally exhausted. Part of me feels bad about it because I need to help Marathon Girl out more around the house when I get home. Lately, however sometimes all I want to do is play with Aidan and listen to Marathon Girl tell me about her day. It would be a whole lot easier to help out if Aidan wasn’t so damn cute and fun to play with. Last night for example I turned on some music and dance with him. He loves moving to the music and laughs when I swing him around. He’s fascinated with the stereo. I think it has to do something with it producing sound and he not being able to see another person making the noise. When I turn it on, he’ll stare at it for a good two or three minutes trying to figure it out before he’ll pay attention to anything else. Occasionally at night I’ll play quiet Bulgarian music (links to audio file) to calm him.
