Bang the Drum

Offspring the Second is home.  He wonderfully conversational and it's clear that he is as marvelous as ever, with a tad more wisdom and independence that he has gained from being away at college for the past semester.  It is heartwarming to have him here.  And best of all, we know he's feeling cheerful because he is playing his drums.

I never thought that drumming would be a happy noise - and yet, it most clearly is.
