Those darn Canadians. Maple syrup, Alex Lifeson, working healthcare....what'll they think of next?
The Holy Trifecta!
To paraphrase Monty Python:
“I mean, what have the Canadians ever done for us……?!”

I have a recurring dream that I'm walking in a crowd in downtown Detroit, right by the skyscraper my grandfather and father had their company's office in. And I'll get really excited because I'll see my grandfather, who died in 1980, walking down the street.Any weird dreams?
Wow....those are some wild dreams. I don't dream much anymore. I mean, I'm kinda happier honestly, most of them are stupid like the time I was driving through the Arizona desert in a Studebaker with Newt Gingrich and a honey badger, searching for the golden taqueria, but you know...who hasnt dreamt of that?I have a recurring dream that I'm walking in a crowd in downtown Detroit, right by the skyscraper my grandfather and father had their company's office in.

But oddly enough he won't in one of his usual beautifully tailored suits. Instead, he'll be wearing rumpled powder blue pajamas, needing a shave. And he'll look a little...unwell.
Then I'll remember that he died, but we'll be glad to see each other. Usually I'll wake up kinda freaked out.

Another recurring dream is finding myself serving in a Scottish regiment of the British Army in World War I, marching toward the front lines at night, the cannons and howitzers lighting up the night sky in the distance, sounding like thunder, as our regiment's bagpipes do whatever it is that bagpipes do.
I'm never frightened, the Master Sergeant is kind of a comedian, and I wake up laughing.
I should. mention that sewn into our underpants are bean bag cushions that make sitting on the ground quite comfortable.

Sometimes I have a nightmare that I'm poor.
Then I wake up and find it wasn't a dream.
Hahahaha! That's a great one!Wow....those are some wild dreams. I don't dream much anymore.

Looks like I need to change my avatar....!!!There are some I remember quite well though, and are pretty dark. When I was a child, maybe five, I had a dream where I found myself in a void. I couldn't see my body, nor could even tell if I had one. I felt nothing, I saw nothing except an endless void of darkness that seemed to stretch out in all directions seemingly forever. Time seemed to be meaningless in this place, I couldn't tell how much time passed, could have been hours, could have been years, all of them were the same. From out of the dark, a shape emerged: a human skull. It spoke to me...I don't know what it said, I was far too terrified to focus. I tried to run, but there was no movement, it was always there, and worst of it... it seemed to approach closer. Finally, it was so close, I couldnt tell anymore if it and I were the same being. Then I woke up. I surmised I had met Death, and just hoped I would never see it again. Never have, but I've always been creeped out by skulls since. There's your nightmare fuel for the day!
Morning, the dog woke me up. What's for breakfast?
Sounds yummy! Have a Great Day!Me: 3 eggs sunny side up, avocados on toast, yogurt and a nice BIG coffee.
The guys breakfast: scrambled eggs, home fries, waffles, bacon, fresh strawberries, toast and coffee, lots of it.
At the cottage today putting in the docks.
HOCKEY GAME IS ON!
I haven’t watched a game forever. Leafs in the
playoffs. Who’d a thought?
I have hope!
Lola, I'm a Leafs fan since 1962 when I could knowingly cheer for anybody but Montreal; probably before that but what does a pre-5 year old know anyway? Not that it matters much, we lost again... 'course I still cheer for the Oilers so hopefully they can keep the thrill alive tonight.You know we live in igloos! Lol
