Today was a fairly quiet one for both of us, as we settled in and rested after our busy trip up north to see Aaron. I had a good workout on the bike, interspersed with upper body work, and I spent some quality time listening to music on my new headphones -- Samuel Barber's symphony #1, and later, the first movement of one of Beethoven's string quartets. Toward evening, we sat before a fire, reading and talking and enjoying our comforting life together at home.
