Back to School

They were home for a long, long time.  But they have now returned to campus life, three time zones away.  Some telltale signs that they have left the dwelling:

- Residents of home are awake during the day and asleep at night

- iPhone and Mac chargers remain in their places

- Car radio stays tuned to NPR rather than sports talk or hip hop

- Spotless living room

- Silence

- Depressed dog

- Untouched leftover pizza in fridge

- Small, delicate loads of laundry

- Full night's sleep

- Credit card charge for car booting in different state
