Up Before the Dawn

We were up before the dawn, not all that early but well before the light now that daylight savings time is here. There was running to be done by the woman of the house, and there were auditions for the teenager. I went along for the ride.

So we were up before the dawn and out the door earlier than most sane people on a Saturday morning. And the day flew by.

In the evening, after eating dinner and rinsing the plates, after the teenager had run off to spend the night with a friend, the woman runner and I stood in the kitchen kissing.

The day had flown by, and we were tired. As we stood there smooching, I looked over her shoulders to see that it was dark outside, which was a relief, because I was tired and ready for bed.

I turned my head and looked at the clock: 6:30.

She looked at me and laughed.

Did I say we were up before the dawn?
