Well, I had a nightmare. In it, Kelli and I were selling some creepy-ass gothic mansion so we could buy another creepy-ass gothic mansion.

As we unpacked, a strange lever came down from the ceiling and smashed a bunch of our… pottery.

Then one piece of pottery reassembled itself and began rolling out the door towards the previous house. I guess it thought the new place was too creepy.

Turns out the new place was so large that there was a full-scale Tex Mex restaurant along one side of the building. I got a call on my cellphone saying that their food was really good.

I then told Kelli we HAD to bail out and go back to the old house, because the person who’d called and made the recommendation was DEAD.

How I knew that, I can’t say.

I woke up, scared. Okay, so phantom pottery and post-life cell phone calls aren’t exactly Stephen King material. But the effect is the same. Really.

And as I lay there, THEBOY yelled out for me. I walked in, and he said he’d had a nightmare about skeletons trying to kill him.

I decided to just crash right there with him.

Heeeeey… Friday’s Tex Mex night! I’ll holler if a ghost calls me to recommend some new place I’ve gotta try.
