My wife is out of town with relatives, but I have my two dogs here. I'm in our new house and the solitude is welcome. It's been a very hectic few weeks. My older dog used to have a problem with fireworks, but she's deaf now and sleeps through it. I'm in a sparsely populated part of Northern California's Gold Country. I have been told to expect a lot of gun fire tonight. Nothing yet, so far.

I've spent many holidays alone and it's never bothered me.
