One thing I don't get a lot of these days is quiet. It's weird right now. Nearing midnight, and it's officially quiet. The revheads down the street aren't revving, the kids and Jen are asleep, the TV, movie player and stereo are off (rare occurences), and I'm noticing how noisy the quiet is - tick-tocking clock, whir-hum of computer fans with an occasional grumble of hard drive access, high buzz of distant crickets and low buzz of a child monitor , and the occasional cheep-cheeping of birds of some description. And the clatter of a keyboard being used for indulgent reflection. And yet, I'm feeling a pressure on my ears, unused to the lack of noise after a day of work and children and life.
