My phone is on a tether,
having used up half its charge
already today.
I find myself languishing in bed
all afternoon while it reenergizes. 
My wife napping next to me,
recovering from a three day stint
in Pigeon Forge.  My daughter
is fighting a migraine and
my son is resting up for a
pool party later.  A full house
yet quiet as we each hear the
air conditioning turn on and off,
and me holding my breath,
unwilling to break the spell.
