our house is big. bigger than we need at this point in our lives, but i am not complaining. it's pretty spread out, and we really only use about 2/3 of it. the 1/3 we don't use is at the south end of the house. xander's bedroom is down there, but it is the first one on the left. right across from that is the laundry room. beyond that is rarely used (especially since larry took out our guest toilet). so it's a pretty long hallway, and at the very end is a bedroom. when the door is open to the bedroom at night, even if the lights are on in the hallway, the bedroom looks like a great abyss. a void. a black hole. so i like to keep that door shut. occasionally my imagination runs on over drive and i imagine terrible things living in the void. more often than naught i imagine this lurking in the void at the end of the hall:
but my imagination never has gotten the better of me. very rarely do i get irked by that sort of thing.
more often than naught when i can't find judy during the day i'll find her way at the end of the abandoned hallway, just chillin'. xander won't go down there without rob or i.
but sometimes we like to run up and down the hall like crazy people. it is xanders favorite thing to do. he asks every day. he would run up and down the hall all day. so tonight we spent the better part of an hour doing just that.

That hallway truly belongs in the Shining. You should make a picture cloning Xander standing at the end of the Hallway. It is even interesting that you are in the middle of nowhere taking care of the place on the off season. Just like the movie.
Have a fun winter! Don't get snowed in.
