::SNAPSHOTS OF AN UNEXPECTED NIGHT::

An hour of giddy planning -- no, talking -- in 40-degree weather.
The joy of the roll-the-marble-into-the-hole-in-the-table game (and subsequent crawling under said table to retrieve dropped said marbles).
An excited invitation.
A cockroach being licked by flames in a fireplace.
The exaltant sound of Smashmouth on the 3:30am drive home.
Unfortunately spilled coffee.
The very eclectic mix of music played at the Londoner.
A basketball goal without a hoop.
The impossible explanations of favourite things.
And a very comfortable gaze.
