I guess it’s the time of year when late-night summer thunderstorms drift slowly overhead. The skies were looking pretty calm until about 8 PM, when lightning chased us from the kids’ swim meet at Lake Johnson Pool. It rained a modest bit at home but was largely quiet when we went to bed.

I awoke at 1:30 AM to thunder and lightning. The dog was freaking out and doing all he could to squeeze himself under the bedroom door so he could join us. The storms lingered for a while, with popping lightning and earth-shaking thunder. Then about 20 minutes later it would move on and all would be quiet. We got another batch of storms a few hours later with the same activity: slow-moving, lightning-spewing clouds.

Kelly and I awoke today feeling like we never really went to sleep. I don’t think it’ll be a late night for us tonight!
