Didn't get home until 7:30 pm tonight. Fed the pets, and then took Peggy for a walk. Might seem like a funny thing to do in teh dark, but I'm glad I did. It was (finally) cool outside, with just a hint of rain. Peggy encountered more than one dog on the way, and left his mark where he does.

Later we cut down a bush track along a power line. As we left the lighted residential area, and my eyes adjusted to the dark, I started to relax. There's something oddly calming about walking there at night. I could see the great shadows of the trees, the white reflecting ground of the track and where the clouds weren't, the stars peeked through.

When we got home I watched an episode of Angel, the one that introduces Lorn, the karaoke demon (ep. 1 of the 2nd season). One of the reasons I always liked Angel, is that the main character has all sorts of problems, screws up a lot of the time, but prevails in the end. Yes, I know it's only a TV show (like Trek and Dr Who), but it was what I needed.
