Hi Sweetie,

I know. It's not optimal, and I'd rather get home earlier, but I've had too many times where it's "we're getting in on day X" and then three days later it's day Y and then when you actually get close, day Y comes and goes and you don't get in until day Z. Looks like with the ticket we have for now, it's going to be the night of the 30th, about 9:00 PM. 

I get it, and if I had really seen anything about it beforehand, I might not have been super into it. I like the people in it and I'll probably watch the rest at some point, but I'm not crazy for it. 

That's true. It's just weird. The dog is weird. And annoying. That definitely sounds like something Spot would do. Just hang out annoying a dog or just ignoring it because he knows it can't do anything. 

Oof. Welp, that should be interesting. I didn't realize he was still acting AG. Some reason I thought that they had actually confirmed him. Guess I wasn't paying attention. Yeah, if no one else has seen it, it's all just going to be speculating what it's going to say and have. We'll see. 

Yeah, I don't figure she'd contact you if there wasn't anything to contact you about. 

Get some rest, relax over the weekend as much as you can. <3 

Hugs

Love you and see you next Saturday. 

Zach

Hi sweetie, 

Okay...I'll expect you home next Saturday. Let me know when you expect to arrive - morning? Evening?

Yeah, it's why I was kinda...eh...about watching American Gods. I loved the book, but the show just looked a little too extra for me. 

As for the dog, it seems to always be right on the other side of the window, so I usually assume it hears us, or maybe smells us? There is a wall there, but you know...dog. Or some combination of the two. But yeah, yesterday Spot was just like...Imma chill here right in front of the window where the dog is going nuts and look out upon my vast domain while the hapless dog yips in futility....

Well, the big news today hit on the way home from work. Apparently the Muller report is complete and has been submitted to acting Attorney General Barr. No one else has seen it yet, but it's done. The news shows are all over it but it's just all speculation now. So, things should be interesting when you get back. 

I have not heard from your mom. I assume the same, that since she's not visiting then she won't contact me. 

Well, it's Friday so it's time to clean the things. 

Love you and miss you. See you next Saturday sometime. <3

Hi Sweetie, 

I hope so too. Today hasn't been too bad. mostly gray and misty, which is fine. 

It would be nice to get home on the 29th, but we're planning my flight for the 30th just in case. It looks like now is an expensive time for flights so it's better if we get it now and err on the side of caution. I'm sorry. I would like to get home earlier too, but I also don't want to book it for the 29th and then get in on the 28th and have to change everything. Sorry. *hugs* 

Yes, America Gods is weird. It is a Starz show so they are playing up everything. I finished season 1 which is all i have and it's good but weird. Half of it is trying to figure out what is going on. I think I'm invested now and will watch season 2 at some point, but just to find out what's happening mostly. I don't know if it is something you'd like. 

Aww. At least he's still interested to some degree. He might just be messing with the dog now. He may have figured out that the dog can't get to him and is just making noise whenever he's around. Or he's testing to see if the dog can get to him. I still don't know how the dog knows that people are there. I've never seen it in the window. I guess that he could hear, but I've left in the mornings sometimes and there shouldn't have been enough sound for it to hear me. 

*hugs* I hope you can get some rest this weekend. Have you heard from my mom at all? I suspect that since she's not coming down, she hasn't said anything, but I just wanted to check. 

Love,
Zach

Hi sweetie, 

I hope you come out of the rain soon. That can't be fun just being on a boat in the rain all the time. 

:( I hope you get home on the 29th. I miss you. Let me know when you'll be arriving and returning home. 

Yeah, the commercials for American Gods always look...interesting. The book was great but I'm not sure how I'd feel about the show based on the ads I've seen. Is it a Starz show? If it's a premium cable show I bet that's why they're playing up the sex/violence/weird. 

Spot visited today but he didn't want to stay inside. Our foyer floor apparently smelled amazing and then he had to go majestically survey his land in the front. The yippy dog next door was going nuts the whole time. I wonder if Spot is trolling him by just sitting just outside the window. The dog is annoying. 

So glad tomorrow's Friday. It'll be good to finish out the week. I miss you. Give you real hugs when you're home. 

Love, 
~Lauren

Hi Sweetie, 

Glad to hear that today was better for you. In terms of weather, today has gottne a little bit worse than yesterday. Hopefully, either us or the front will start moving faster or slower so that we aren't stuck in it the whole way. 

I talked to the crew and found out a little more about when we're getting in. It sounds like it will be a little bit later than we expected. As of today, the earliest we'd be getting into port in Algeciras will be the 27th of March. It looks more like it will be the 28th at this point though. That means that I'd be getting home on either the 29th or the 30th. :( Once I know better that date and when to book my flight, I'll let you know. 

That sounds interesting. We'll have to see how it tastes when it gets in. :) 

Hope you're doing alright. I'm doing fine here. I started watching American Gods, and it's... interesting. Not sure how I feel about it yet though I'm about halfway through the season. 

Love you and miss you.

Zach

Hi sweetie, 

Today was better, both in terms of weather and craziness. I'm making dinner now...trying to roast a spaghetti squash.

Oh! I ordered us some barbecue sauce. XD New episodes of Queer Eye dropped last Friday so I've been watching that. One of the episodes was so adorable. The guys go help these two old lady sisters who run a barbecue shack in Kansas City. They have this secret sauce, and the guys helped them get it bottled to sell. So I bought some. And apparently so did a ton of other people, there's articles talking about how they sold like 11,000 bottles of bbq sauce over the weekend. o.O;

So we'll have some bbq sauce soon. :) 

Hmm, otherwise I think that's about it from here. 

Love you, and enjoy the ping pong!
