I am having the weirdest dreams of late,<\/p>\n

All stress related,<\/p>\n

I know.<\/p>\n

But still …<\/p>\n

They are so vivid and real,<\/p>\n

I almost feel dizzy when I wake up and try to sort things out.<\/p>\n

Last night’s dream found me in San Diego doing one of my weekend excursions …<\/p>\n

Though this time I apparently wasn’t conventioning,<\/p>\n

But just down there drinking,<\/p>\n

Socializing.<\/p>\n

At some point this group of people I didn’t know and I krossed the border …<\/p>\n

’Cause apparently it’s easy to do. \";-)\"<\/p>\n

We ended up drinking cervezas on some waterfront deck.<\/p>\n

Pretty much the same thing I end up doing when I’m home,<\/p>\n

Except for the waterfront part, and …<\/p>\n

Being across the border part.<\/p>\n

Though in the summer, <\/p>\n

The waterfront part actually happens at times.<\/p>\n

Anyways,<\/p>\n

I’m having a good time on this waterfront deck …<\/p>\n

Doing the Amy-thing,<\/p>\n

Which generally consists of doing my best to make sure everyone is having a good time,<\/p>\n

Laughing,<\/p>\n

When some chick walks up to me …<\/p>\n

And Function Calls.<\/p>\n

Ugh … <\/p>\n

It’s even permeating my dreams now.<\/p>\n

Ugh ugh,<\/p>\n

Plus there I was,<\/p>\n

Across the border,<\/p>\n

Solo.<\/p>\n

I have to believe I silently quoted my ancestor …<\/p>\n

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

I’m not sure exactly how I got out the predicament,<\/p>\n

But I remember making my way aggressively down a boardwalk,<\/p>\n

Where there was a crowd of people hurrying down the boardwalk too,<\/p>\n

In the same direction as I.<\/p>\n

It was crowded and rushed,<\/p>\n

Some people stumbled.<\/p>\n

I remember helping as many of them as I could along.<\/p>\n

Editor’s note:<\/strong> I have to give myself credit, in what appeared to be a moment of crisis, I think I was pretty calm ! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

Some girl was hysterical about not having her plane ticket,<\/p>\n

So I went back to this bar on the boardwalk and bought her a plane ticket,<\/p>\n

From a Cylon<\/a> of all things.<\/p>\n

And not one of the human form Cylons,<\/p>\n

But the original metal ones with the spooky scanning red eye.<\/p>\n

Hey, it’s a dream … it’s not expected to make sense. *shrug*<\/p>\n

I pushed my way back to her and just as I gave her the ticket,<\/p>\n

Someone pushed me and I stumbled into an empty apartment.<\/p>\n

I heard a noise in one of the kitchen drawers,<\/p>\n

So I opened it up,<\/p>\n

And ended up getting viciously attacked by an angry squirrel.<\/p>\n

It was a killer squirrel I tell you !!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Which for purposes of symbolism,<\/p>\n

Is probably the most interesting part of this dream,<\/p>\n

And oddly enough,<\/p>\n

Is something even I noted while defending myself from the squirrel attack during the dream.<\/p>\n

(Context Hint<\/em>: One of Joe’s more common nicknames in the later years of his life was “squirrel<\/em>“.)<\/p>\n

I then was in a dark alley,<\/p>\n

Back pressed against a door<\/p>\n

Hearing all sorts of rumblings,<\/p>\n

Leading up to confrontation,<\/p>\n

When the door opened up and caused me to fall into a hallway.<\/p>\n

The door closed and locked by some young chica,<\/p>\n

Who turned to me and said with a smile …<\/p>\n

Hi Amy. I thought you could use a hand. I’m a viewer.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Gawd, I love my viewers !!! <\/p>\n

Thank you !!! \"-)\"<\/p>\n

Though personally, <\/p>\n

I’m beginning to really dislike squirrels !!! \"-o\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
