Happy thought for Kristin: my tree out front is fully leafed out and starting to bloom already. I don't know what it is, but it has pretty red flowers that I hope will bring my friendly neighborhood hummingbird back to visit.

Um, I've been having surreal, funny dreams while on painkillers?

I had a dream last night that this 19-year old hoodlum/scholar wanted to be my boyfriend. I was the age I really am (pushin' 40 HARD) but was as skinny as I was when I was 19.

Laura's hair is pretty!

{{P-C, Kristin}}

Yesterday I ate too many cookies and a piece choked me. I'm still having some coughing fits from it.

Someone tell me something happy to inspire me?

Baseball practice today, baybee! I'm really looking forward to it. I really like our team this year. We're both talented and a fun bunch. Lots of good kids.

I had a very involved dream last night that I was taking a train to New Orleans and somehow walked off of it (while I thought I was just moving car to car) at a huge depot and a friendly guy who worked at the depot offered to help me catch up with the train before it left by showing me all the shortcuts but it still left before I got to it and friendly guy told me I should just live there at the depot. He was very flirty and I was tempted, but I ended up trading my train ticket for a bus ticket. I woke up before I continued the journey, however.

I dreamt Mike Rowe was flirting with me and I said "Mike, are you making a pass?" There was a pause and then I said "Hmm, do people even use that phrase anymore?" He said, "I don't think so, but I am making a pass."

jealous of Scrappy. Mike never makes a pass at me in my dreams. He just throws snakes at me and talks about crab fishing.

hugs the stuffing out of P-C

I appear to be the only person at this conference who doesn't have an iPhone.

I forget this- I just spent half an hour in my yard doing a little cleanup. Filled the green bin. I forgot it can be so much fun. Even with asthma. Gardening season is fun.

Also with the wacky dreams. I was collecting rolls from paper towels and toilet tissue for some not remembered project. This included visits to Kristin & Drew and a number of other Buffistas, friends from here and other places I've lived, family, etc. All these people lived close by so I just visited a few minutes, got the rolls and left. My dreams are often social dreams and include people from various parts of my life. The dog woke me so I never did figure out what I needed the rolls for. Oh, and Nora gave me tea because it was too early for beer.

{{Sunil}} I would happily hug the stuffing out of you if you were closer. There was an Indian HS student on the volley ball team last night playing against my Brendon's team. He was such a cutie head with short hair gelled in spikes. Anyway, he had a smile that reminded me of you, if you were a teenager with spikey hair playing volleyball.

Home for lunch, but I better get back to the office now. Kristin, I could do your narrative comments and you can configure this database for me. Ok?
