So she left for the church retreat yesterday. Some place up in the mountains with no cell phone coverage. She’ll be back tomorrow. This is the first time we’ve been apart since we got married. Last night, Wesley and I watched Resident Evil – first time for both of us. Meh. But it was a…
Read More Terra out of townAlready eleven Halloween movies watched, including four hosted by Joe Bob Briggs on MonsterVision (ya’ know that late night show on TNT in the 90s) and all four Phantasm movies, the latter three of which neither of us had ever seen.

Read More And so, a new life begins… Again.It is, by far, my favorite audio theater series. And that was a great episode. We had a big day out, just Terra and I. Haven’t done that in awhile.
