I Hate Snakes.

Spent some time with Dad today. He brought me sunflowers for my birthday, which was last week but no less sweet.
He also brought me a new copy of "Raiders of the Lost Ark," since my last copy met an... unfortunate end when Nevermore tried to watch it but couldn't get a grip and ended up breaking it. Then he chewed on it. On accident he said.
I don't know.

We watched it together, the new copy. Dad and I, I mean. Nevermore mostly peered down over the T.V. and got in the way. He acts weird when Dad's around. Doesn't talk as much, and more of the words he does say are actual conversation rather than vulgarities.
The part where Indy gets into the Well of Souls, with all the snakes, I actually saw Dad make a face.
"Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?"
I said something, and he told me the story of his fight against Python. The first real fight he ever had. Serpent hatred runs in the family.
