Enjoy the Silence

So for the first time in a very long time I was sitting in a very quiet house. It was about 11 o'clock last night when I realized that the clock in my dining room ticks. I had never heard it tick before and the house was so quiet that I could hear it. What I should have done at that moment was take my butt to bed, but instead, I sat in the dining room and listened to the silence of my house. I'm glad I did, because about seven minutes later, Cohen started fussing in his sleep.
