The wife stayed home today. Ostensibly to get more of the house cleaned up, and more junk ready for either a flea market or yard sale. But the gist of it was, we stayed in bed, watching tv and curled up with sleeping heelers until almost noon. She'll work on the clutter tomorrow. And me, I've had maybe three days off in the past three months.

I was due.

Then the call came in, just before noon. The third or fourth work call of the morning. But this one was a warden. Advising she was stopping by for a visit, and coffee.

In three minutes.

At least she gave warning...

And in three minutes, I was shaved and dressed, and at the door.

The wife, on the other hand, was in no great hurry. Perfectly willing to let our guest know she roused us from bed, together, at noon. If anything, our visitor would feel guilty for interrupting something intimate.

Never suspecting we were actually just lazing around with heelers.

I mean, whatever two adults do in the privacy of their bedroom is their own business, right?
