Hours later, he got bored with playing spider solitaire and browsing his mp3 folder. He left the computer running and fell on his bed. He noted how late he must have stayed up as he closed his eyes, how the window that looked out onto Bainbridge Island - and not far beyond, Olympic National Park and the Pacific Ocean - illuminated his half-empty Bushmills pint with the first flickering rays of a reddish dawn.
