Bedtime. 

Thanks HMS.  I know it's not so, but sometimes it seems, on dark pre-winter nights, that no one sees these cobbly thoughts -- no one, that is, but the 'bots and me. 

Guten nacht. 

This is a URL from my website's referrer log.  I wish it was from a former boyfriend trying to send me a subtle (or not-so-subtle) message. 

I wonder how many other lonely men -- who have little better to do than pore over their server logs -- were similarly reminded of a Daniel from their own pasts?  And I wonder how many of them wished him back again?
