A long, long time ago I went backpacking in Arizona to see some ruins. It was a great trip and we did the overnight thing...

There was a sign on the outhouse door, "Please do not let the door slam - you will disturb the peace of our valley."

Tonight, that came back to me. There are video games, laptops and cd players all running in the living room. I also have an extra (loud) teenager (I enjoy having him around, but he is loud).

A particular obnoxious song began playing and I remembered that sign.

"Boys, you are disturbing the peace of my valley!"

Devon said, "you don't even have a valley."

"If I did, you'd be disturbing it."
