A SCREECHING HALT.

---

The subject to this entry has nothing to do with the entry itself, I just wanted something a little dramatic as an introduction:

Currently listening: Hong Kong by The Gorillaz (for the incredible guzheng)
Just listened: Leaves in the River by Sea Wolf
Currently reading: Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk
Just read: The Road by Cormac McCarthy

I am in Columbia, Maryland, outside of Baltimore, lying prone in the front yard of Sam's uncle's house. The time is getting nearer where the trip takes some unique turns: Tim is going to Scotland for a week and a half and I am going to Oregon and Idaho for four weeks—flying out of New York and Boston, respectively. Driving from Indianapolis to Maryland, we stopped in Ohio to visit a friend at The Apostolate for Family Consecration Catholic Familyland. A long, intimidating title. Fireflies lit up the fields and roadsides, raccoons and deer crossed the grounds without hesitation or concern. Now we are in Columbia, Maryland, relaxing for awhile before we head up to New England.

I am too tired to write, and too excited to finish the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition marathon we started last night. So to everyone, cheers!


Reporting from Maryland,
Benjamin.
