So, the Titanic 3D trailer should not have made me as emotional as it did. But, gah, I can't help it. When it first came out, I saw it in theaters something like seven times.

Just a quick update to let everyone know I'm on term break, not dead. I spent last weekend with Tim in Muncie, then came back home to Fort Wayne on Sunday evening.

It's taken me a week to get to a point when I could talk about this without breaking down, but, we had to put Chloe down last weekend. It was awful.
