Hey guys! And by guys I mean Liz, Shawn, Tulo, Lucas, and maybe Laura by way of Liz's recommendation. This last tour was awesome, and luckily the only spider encounter I heard of was while I was in the bathroom. Apparently a wolf spider lowered itself down over the kitchen table in Wichita, KS. Gross.

Unfortunately, I was welcomed back to Marion in classical Harmon Street fashion. Being on tour, you end up wearing the same clothes a lot, so they get dirty, and naturally when you come home you want to do a load of laundry. This morning that's exactly what I wanted to do, so I went upstairs, gathered all my dirty laundry up, and took the basket towards the bathroom to get my towel. I set the basket on the floor outside of the bathroom and almost touched with my HAND a spider on the door frame. I don't know if it was frozen because our house is so cold or what, but we both just kind of stared at each other for a few minutes. My camera was right next to me so I snapped this picture of it.

I KNOW RIGHT!? Look at the shape of it's body. It's a little bit long but still thick enough to give it that girth-y look that haunts my dreams. I grabbed the closest thing to me to kill it, which happened to be Robin Williams' "Man Of The Year" which I've never seen, but he's wearing a stupid wig on the cover of it so I think it's better off this way. His face, which used to make people laugh, served a purpose and killed the spider that you see above. Should've quit while you were ahead after Jumanji.
