Lights, Sound....Action!

...as we begin the first few days of the onset of the month of Shravan, we here in Virginia are being treated to some entertaining shows that have arrived in the form of thunderstorms.

After a busy work day- filled with presentations, meetings and a random brownbag tech discussion thrown in here and there- summer months are busy at work. Once that is done, I have my date evenings with Jessica, my spin class instructor. She keeps me straight, she keeps me sane and she is the only person that can make me do what I should. When that's done with, its time to move on to chores.

Have all the bills been paid? Are there any stray renewals that need to be done? So many little things that all add up to one giant headache! Then its dinner time. With the dishes cleared away, one gets a chance to indulge in front of the idiot box, the sun room sofa seems like lying in the lap of luxury.

A few minutes into mindless entertainment and the DISH receiver goes into 'Downloading software...' mode. There's brilliant sound and light effects from the outside and before long a thunderstorm has decided to be the master entertainer.

I drag my feet to turn off the lights and get ready to hit snooze. There's more of the magnificent lightning effects that illuminate the trees and the houses around. Thunder chimes in with background music to make a complete package for an orchestra. Watching this live show sure is a good way to drift into the land of nod, me thinks.
