Oh No!

I am really starting to get into Leonard Cohen. Is anyone else into Leonard Cohen. Songs of Love n' Hate? Those kids on "Dress Rehearsal Rag"! Wow . . .

Had some silly dreams last night. (This blog may just mutate into a journal of dreams I find amusing)

1) "Sarah the Deb" I was driving in a red convertible with my sister Sarah while she contemplated which of us siblings would live longest. I dissuaded her from being so morbid, ending the conversation. We pulled into a mansion, where there were some hugh (9'x6') oil portaits of Sarah painted when she was 13. Apparently, in the dream reality, someone had given Sarah $20K when she was that age, allowing her to enter into the world of debutantes. Sarah was depicted in the paintings flashing a brace-covered smile, wearing pearls, a white coutoure dress and large Jackie O shades.

2) "Everybody Out" At age fifteen, my sister Molly was no longer the baby. I carried the new little sister with me through the shopping mall, until someone pointed out that this baby wasn't my sister at all, but was one of Sarah's enemies trying to usurp her position in the family. I was suddenly a small, grey alien with the voice of Paul Lynde, contemplating whether I should join with humanity or use my raygun to evacuate the mall.

3) "The Ultimate in Improvisation" My college friends from OU (the main constituency of my readership) and I hired out a theatre and improvised a two-hour scenario, each of us fully becoming the characters we'd adopted - the ultimate in improvisation. There was no audience, and we made full use of the space, running up and down aisles, into the balcony, and onto the stage. I was sad to see the night end.
