At the end of the day.

When the syllabus has been sent and the links, or some of them, have been updated;

when the birthday card has been delivered and the remains of the poblano corn soup have been consumed, and for the record, it was better than the day I first made it;

when the last of Downton Abbey and The Good Wife have faded from the screen, and the walk around the block with the dog has concluded,

there's still this:

--so good night.
