Once I had this dream about a safe and innocent JumpStart game that, once you complete every activity, suddenly turns into a gritty first-person shooter game. The 1920s colonial-style house where the edutainment game was filmed is infested by tiny androids trying to kill you, and you have to click and shoot them back while jumping from frame to frame (a la Myst) to the docks outside where a rowboat waits to drift you home to safety. The higher the difficulty level setting (yes, that feature is still intact), the more androids there are. Weirdly enough, the lowest possible difficulty setting gives you NO androids, but a wall of thick mud that closes in on you through the exit door when opened—with no means of escaping it! (It's okay though, because Tommy Boy himself, the late Chris Farley, plays your scream of agony as the giant mud glob falls on you.) Legit, I woke up LAUGHING over how random and out-of-nowhere the ending of that dream was. And considering that I had it a few days

As much as I still miss my childhood home in the Blue Ridge Mountain part of Virginia, I can’t help but feel thankful to live in a neighborhood where rabbits, squirrels, foxes and deer roam around freely. And lord, did I just see an entire herd of deer in one of my neighbors’ backyard last night!
