Home sweet home! The trip was fun, but as always, it's even better to be home again.
While we were waiting for our flight to depart, we watched
Dead Snow (or Død Snø in its original language) and it was quite good, over-the-top and gory, which made it equally funny. Of course, we watched a few more episodes of Dexter and the latest Weeds.
All in all, it was a good ending to the long weekend, and now it's back to the grind.
Our condolences go out to the family of Relic lead designer Brian Wood, who was
killed in a vehicular accident over the weekend.

Because we didn't think it was nearly hot enough yesterday, we headed out to the county fair, where it was even hotter! There were plenty of sights to see and much people-watching to be done. Even though we used sunscreen, we still have minor sunburns to show for it.
We watched a couple of episodes of
Dexter last night. It's gotten a bunch of great press and tons of accolades, but we're just finally getting around to it. It's pretty good and looks promising so far ...
Labor Day weekend is winding down, so we're heading back home tonight. It's been good to get away, but it'll be even better to go home and plop ourselves on the couch!
