Midsummer observations

One nice thing about being alone is that people keep coming to visit.

Campfires, fireflies, and the distant sound of electric guitars promote comfortable conversation, especially when the band at the musical festival beyond the trees is clearly wretched.

I am glad to own a dog who is indifferent to fireworks.

It's not a bad thing that parents who are away from their children spend their evenings without children fretting obsessively about their children. They can't fret about their children in front of their children, can they?

I now know that cedar waxwings live in my yard.

Cheesecake is delicious, even when served in glops rather than slices.

It's not a bad thing that parents who are away from their children find out how much they still like being around the partners they never have time to hang out with when the children are around.

Convoluted sentences are convenient repositories for convoluted thoughts.

A male goldfinch next to a male scarlet tanager is a startling sight.
