I sang along with a couple of fun cheerful songs, then came to Vienna Teng's &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bZd2kgLZtfA\">Lullaby for a Stormy Night<\/a>&rdquo; as I neared home. Listened to the last minute or so of it sitting quietly in my driveway. Got out of my car feeling tired and a little sad but more or less at peace.<\/p>\n<p>And then a voice out of the darkness nearby said, loudly, &ldquo;Hi, Jed!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>I near about jumped out of my skin. I said, &ldquo;Jesus!&rdquo; quite a bit too loudly for after 11 p.m. on a weeknight.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out that two neighbors were walking by and thought they would say hello. They apologized for scaring me. I explained that I was tired, and brought my stuff inside, and settled down a little. But I'm still a little jumpy.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home from WisCon. Tired.
