Old Bear Comes Back to the Cave

When the nor'easters blow with the first frosts of autumn and the last of the salmon have retreated down the river and out of paw's reach, the bears return to their cozy homes to last out another winter. So it is with our own Old Bear. As of late tomorrow night, you'll find this gentle beast has returned to hibernate in the Mattcave.

It should be noted that although we have mentioned his name in this blog several times and even created a feature in honor of his questionable taste in movies (look right), Matt has never heard the phrase "Hock N' Blog" and has no idea that we created a house website. Be sure to leave plenty of comments welcoming him home so that his first taste of Hock will be a good one.


While we're on the subject, here's a quick list of the top three things we considered doing with Matt's room while he was gone but never got around to:

3. Put all of his furniture back where it came from (i.e. on Craigslist).


2. Leave his room the way it is but move out of the rest of the house without telling him, so that when he came back he'd find himself living with complete strangers.


1. Convert it into a pay-by-the-hour hotel room. This would have been a good way to raise some spare cash for Pocomoktoberfest, although we would have had a hard time explaining the condom dispenser on the wall, the vibrating bed, and the murdered prostitute in the closet.
