So, we went to the beach yesterday.

Jenn got horrifically sunburned because she only put on sunscreen before we left. Mommy got sunburned because, as near as I can tell, she didn't put any sunscreen on at all. I was fine because *I* put on sunscreen three times - before we left, when we arrived, and after getting supremely soaked thanks to 'dul. But I didn't get Jenn to help me with my back, so it's a little red.

And I dug a hole. I do this every year. I go to the beach and dig a hole. Not sure why, I just do. It's easier than building a castle, anyway, and it lasts longer.

I hope everybody had a happy 4th.

This year, I did something new, I did *not* watch the vast majority of the Twilight Zone Marathon. Instead, I slept. A lot.

However, if I had watched it, I would no doubt have had nightmares tonight due to the thought of watching a few of my most hated episodes, chiefly "To Serve Man" and that one where the earth is out of its old orbit and going first closer to and then farther from the sun.

I did watch out for my favorites, though, ones like Eye of the Beholder, and the one with the girl in leg braces, and that one with the dying man and the masks.

Anyway, this leads to a semi-interesting question, which is YOUR favorite/least favorite Twilight Zone episode? Answer, or be un-American.

I'm not sure which is worse, the assumption that people can't think in sign language, or the one that nobody, ever, can think without having language. I'm edging towards the first, though, since it's just blatant stupidity.
