Not so very long ago the iced tea I'm enjoying would taste salty and of olives, burning ever so sweetly as I swallowed.  I'd have finished two (or three) and be heading to the deck for some fresh air.  I'm content this evening to listen to the music and the laughter of children who should be sleeping.

Yeah.  I'm OK with that.
