I love this one, I so identify with it and it is so good to have a bit of the silly. I also liked this phrase a lot: "bedroom still seemed to be ground zero for the noise follies. "

Indeed, Jan, a great observation: much of what we can call a successful life these days is the result of being able to hold both the world’s great sadness and its great joy in our heart and our deep awareness simultaneously. Not forgetting either one even for a moment. But, oh, how hard to do, isn’t it? How much contemplative attention it takes. Thanks for reminding us.
