Rain & Kill Screen

Dear John,

Come quick - NCIS is on USA, and they're showing "Kill Screen." If you get here soon enough, you'll get to watch Gibbs shoot up the computer again! I know you love this episode, and so do I. The end is just so satisfying.

We had a little bit of rain today. There were scattered bits of rain all over, but it never rained longer than a few minutes in one place. But at least it was cloudy; it kept the temperature down to 105.  I feel like I live in Texas but there's no good barbecue within a few hundred miles. It looks like I'll be getting the sprinklers out tomorrow. Our trees are doing fine - I know some people who are losing trees because of the drought.

You know what I'd love to do? I'd love to cuddle up with you on the sofa while it rains and storms outside, lose the dish to rain fade, and put on the "Spiral Staircase." Black-and-white horror movie, rain, and you means total bliss. Maybe popcorn, too? I'll wait up for you.

I do love you so much. I miss you tonight. But I'm glad to have so many good years to remember.

Joan.
