I guess I\u2019ve been in the news a little bit lately.<\/p>\n

Ever since I was asked to leave my UFO Watchers club and Fantasy Hockey League, I\u2019ve been kind of lost and having a really hard time filling my days. My wife Rachelle suggested that instead of just lying around watching Friends on Netflix all day, I get a hobby, and so I did.<\/p>\n

Tunnel Diary: Day 1<\/p>\n

The best thing about my Hobby Tunnel is that it really puts me in touch with nature. It\u2019s really going to be more of a \u201cFun-nel\u201d than a tunnel! It\u2019s so nice being alone in the forest with my shovel. The trees are my friends and I think digging a hole in the middle of the woods is an absolutely great hobby! I mean, it\u2019s fantastic exercise and inexpensive! And I\u2019m not scared, cold or lonely at all. Nope, my mind never wanders to worst-case scenarios, and I doubt very much that the curious assemblage of twigs, branches, dismembered dolls and a candle over there has anything to do with satanic ritual. The wind probably just blew it there like that so it’s reaching out to me like a message, not an accident. Nature sure is funny!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I will bring my iPod.<\/p>\n

Reminder: Make digging play list.<\/p>\n

Tunnel Diary: Day 2<\/p>\n

Bringing the dog with me as company and protection was an excellent idea. It\u2019s nice to be able to spend some quality time with her and watch her do something that she really loves. It\u2019s true, Dachshunds are amazing diggers and she\u2019s scared away at least two squirrels! Good dog, Heidi, good dog!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s funny though, whenever she goes near the dead doll shrine at the big oak she starts to whimper. Actually, looks like there\u2019s a new disfigured doll over there today, one with a little pet dog doll.<\/p>\n

Reminder: Research satanic rituals and voodoo.<\/p>\n

Tunnel Diary: Day 9<\/p>\n

All I think about is the tunnel, about how when it\u2019s done it will be exactly like a long, narrow grave for many squirrels. How many squirrels? That\u2019s a good question. Maybe 300, but it depends on the squirrels.<\/p>\n

The trees have voices. My iPod cannot drown out the tree voices. Some trees like to share bad thoughts.<\/p>\n

Tunnel Diary: Day 18<\/p>\n

Today I killed a squirrel that strayed too far into our territory. It was a cleansing. I suffocated it with a zip lock baggie I had left over after my snack. (All the shoveling and tunneling really works up an appetite) In the wild you must learn to use anything you can to defend yourself and complete your mission. My grave tunnel will fit 666 of such purified squirrels, the exact number the trees require, and then the mission shall come to darkness.<\/p>\n

Reminder: Remember to pick up tetra pack of white wine for tonight\u2019s Game\u2019s Night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
