Not a lot going on in my life right now, which you’ve probably discerned from my lack of updates. However something interesting happened last night.

At about 4am we were awoken by a sound from outside the house. It was almost the sound of the security screen door banging in the wind, except that the screen door is closed and locked, and there was no wind. Instead, it was the sound of someone trying to open the screen door. At four in the morning. Uninvited.

We leapt out of bed and turned on the light. I went to open the door but Sal urged me not to. By the time we were up the noise had stopped, so whoever it was trying to break in must have given up. Sal called the police to let them know (we didn’t exactly expect them to come sirens blaring) and they suggested that they’d had a few reports from the region of drunk people trying doors, perhaps not realising that they were at the wrong house. In hindsight that sounds unrealistic but at 4am it was quite plausible.

We’ll see if our mystery caller visits again tonight. This time I might actually answer the door wielding something heavy.

In other news, my brother called me tonight to inform me that he has dinner plans on Thursday night with Lance Henriksen. I kid you not. Jealous.
