tranquility

Tonight, I stayed up far too late. But, it was the first time in a while I've been up this let, even at home, but longer since I've been up this late elsewhere. I was at a friend's house talking after a game night, and we ended up talking until after 3:30 AM. When I left to go outside, all the street lights were flashing, and no cars were on the roads. The wind had died down to just a light breeze, and there was a light snow in the air. Times like that are some of the best in the world. This one was unique. I've been downtown early in the morning before, when there are no cars and all the lights are flashing. I love to walk in the middle of the road at times like that. I've also been in some neighborhood or out in the country when the air is still and the snow is falling lightly. But combining the two was a new experience for me. It made the walk to my car great. I think I still enjoy middle of the country snowy stillness, but I wouldn't mind a few more nights like this.
