Melancholy...

...is how I would describe my mood today.

This morning, my older son went back to college after an especially good visit. And my younger son remains at his new school in Hyde Park.

The four of us were together on Saturday and it was a nice reunion. We went out to eat at the Original Pancake House (how many original pancake houses are there?) and then went over to the Museum of Science and Industry for a few hours. We hadn't been there since the boys were young.

And now my wife and I are empty nesters again. It's bittersweet.
