Written at 6:00 PM. Sylvia is thinking of Moe and trying to imagine him in leggings. She reflects how he once was a quiet, thoughtful, sedentary thinker but now is a man full of activity. She speaks of the weather and how much she misses him. Especially when she hears an old love song on the radio: "I'll Cry For You"
