After making pizza at home, we went back and forth on how to finish the evening. The Patriots had just dismantled the Broncos after 10 minutes of play and since we run a benevolent dictatorship, we put it to a vote: one vote for a movie, a couple votes for another episode of Northern Expsoure (we have been watching the first 2 seasons) or maybe a hot tub. We decided on the tub after we randomly started puttting our suits on. All the lights were off in the backyard and the stars looked as if you could reach out to grab one. The conversation began with a debate on who could find the coolest constellation and if we were looking at a satellite or a plane as we watched bright blinking lights in the sky. It turnded quiet (rare for this trip..) as we leaned back and just starred at the millions of stars....SILENCE. Jack broke the silence with the question of "how did we get here??" This simple question led to a lively debate between the three brothers. Points about how we were created and what were the first life forms blasted back and forth. Julie and I watched with a smile as the boys interrupted each other before each sentence was finished. Hank whispered to me as we walked in "that was the strangest conversation I've ever been part of." LOVE IT
