Starry night

After seven hours on the road we arrived home in darkness so deep that we couldn't see the steps or the house key or the dog but we certainly saw the stars, zillions of 'em shining clear and bright in the night. The last two or three hours of the trip were deadly dull: no scenery visible in the darkness, no dramatic weather to make the drive interesting, and an utterly unabsorbing hockey game on the radio. Who can listen to hockey on the radio?

But the stars! I have missed the stars. Tomorrow I'll get back to work bright and early but tonight I'll end my vacation with a visit to the stars.
