Distant Thunder

I'm usually the one in the theater, so I don't hear what it's like in the rest of the house. My daughter and her friend, Daisy, are down there now watching "Jumanji". As I sit here at the iMac, 2 full floors above, I hear an occasional rumble. It is supposed to rain later tonight, but this is coming, from the register.

I spent a lot of money to isolate sound, and the room does, for the most part. But when that big subwoofer kicks in, there's not much you can do to keep it from setting off the earthquake detectors long the Pacific rim. Especially when I play that scene from "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring". You know the one. The Bridge of Kazadum.

OK, I exaggerate.

Wait, did you feel that?
