Late Night Discussions

No, this is not a post about Late Night with David Letterman.  It is, instead, a post about discussions after midnight over a beer.  My significant other works nights.  I work days.  It makes for some long stretches without much meaningful discussion.  So when we find the time in to talk, they are some of the best discussions.

Saturday night was one of those nights.  She got in about 12:30.  I had cold beer and the night was not too humid.  We took up residence on the back steps and just talked.  We would finish one beer and open another.  We didn't solve the problems of the world or discover a new galaxy.  But we did talk about life.  We made a plan for the planting bed in the front - our next big project.  We talked about moving to the country in a few years so we could see the stars.  We wondered what our kids would be like.  We wondered what our friends were doing.  You know, the stuff couples are supposed to talk about. And it was good.
