Hey, thanks for your message! I totally get what you mean about the TV show. The character development in the later seasons really dropped off compared to the beginning. I think they rushed the final season. Anyway, let me know if you want to borrow the first season on DVD. I have the whole set. It's funny how we both had the same thoughts about the ending. I actually liked the soundtrack though, that part was solid. We should chat about it more over coffee sometime. Let me know a good day for you. I also started reading that book series you recommended. The first book was a bit slow, but the second one really picks up the pace. I will definitely finish the series. How did you find out about the author anyway? I think I'll check out his other works when I'm done. I hope you are having a great week so far.

I just got back from the hiking trail near the lake. The weather was perfect, not too hot. We saw a family of deer crossing the path. It took about three hours to complete the loop. Definitely worth getting up early for. I should go more often. Let me know if you want to join next time. I have some extra trail mix and a good playlist for the drive. Also, the wildflowers were in full bloom, which made the whole trip even better. I took plenty of photos to share. Let me know when you are free. I hope you and your family are doing well.
