Floating

[larryhammer]

I am sitting in the living room before the rest of the house is up. Across the room, a mylar balloon, a lingering remnant of a birthday celebration, is drifting at neutral buoyancy around the corner. The currents take it in a circuit up to the ceiling, down the short hallway, down to a few feet above the floor (to the disconcertion of the cats), back out into the room to the dining table, then up again -- a cycle of about five minutes.

Last night I went to my son and daughter in law's house for dinner. My granddaughter was in from New York and a friend of hers was there as well. The cats (14 of them) were trying to recover from the shock of 20 to 30 people in the house over Thanksgiving day, decided that there wern't too many of us to cope with and came out to be petted. It was funny. There would be a little head peeking around the corner, then another and another. Normally they are very shy and no one knows they are around.
