Roar Of The Crowd

Moments ago, with HG asleep on my shoulder and music playing in the background, the most charming thing happened.

I had my iTunes set to play randomly and as the music turned over to the next song, a live Tom Waits tune came on. It began the way live tracks often do, with a burst of loud, appreciative applause. HG, who the moment before had been absolutely dead asleep, suddenly jerked his head off my shoulder and, somehow looking simultaneously determined and confused, applauded briefly before once again flopping his head on my shoulder in a complete stupor.

It was over in a fraction of a second. Afterward, I found myself sitting there shaking my head. I took the above photo seconds later.
