Hours of Bauer


Earlier this year, our friends the Thompsons loaned us several seasons of the TV show "Alias". It was, to say the least, addictive.

In August, our friends the Farmers loaned us five seasons of the show "24", about a special terrorism unit that saves the world in 24 hours every year or so.

We got hooked. With over 72 hours straight of rain rain and more rain, the kids arent out in the streets and we have had less to do, and even less will to do it. So, during lunches and evenings, we save the U.S.A. from certain doom with Jack Bauer.

Here is how I know I have been watching too much "24"...

Last night, I dreamed that Moriah Farmer worked for CTU (the terrorism unit), and I was a field agent, tracking down an old "friend" of mine from High School who was now a terrorist. Moriah worked the information systems/ satellites and I raced through the city looking for the bad guy. She gave me bad intel, though, so I got arrested and detained at an Indian Casino for trying to rip off a slot machine. Then I woke up.

Yeah. Too many hours of Bauer, I think.

That is hilarious! (your dream) They loaned it to us in February--we were hooked and watched all 5 seasons as well. I'm sad to say that Hannah spent the evenings of the first couple months of her life in my arms hearing gun shots and torture and general mayhem as America had to be saved once again from some nuclear bomb, or deadly virus, or presidential assisination or all of the above . . . . I scared her half to death once by jumping at something in the show. Actually, she mostly just slept through all the adventure. :)

I'm glad you guys are okay--we were a little worried. Hope you dry out soon!
