Freaky Friday!

Well, I had another dream. I just wish I had someone around like Joseph who could interpret the dreams for me. My fear, however, is that someday I may dream about 3 white baskets on my head and in the upper-most basket are bakemeats for the Pharaoh wherein birds are eating the things out of the basket on my head. The last poor bugger who dreamed this dream saw his demise three days later.

I would really like to have some understanding to why Kevin Bacon continues to haunt me and my dreams. Perhaps one day he will inquire with Aspen Hills Mortgage for a loan, or maybe I have a hidden motive to be Footloose.

Although my recent dream didn't directly involve Kevin Bacon, I did dream about something that reminded me of a movie.

Do you remember the movie Freaky Friday? There have been different variations of the original. One came out in 2003 with Lindsay Lohan, but the one I remember was with Jodie Foster in 1976.

The general plot summary for the movie is that a mother and daughter both feel like the other has a simpler life. On a Friday, both complain about each other and wish they could have the easy life of the other for just one day. The wish comes true: The daughter becomes the mother and the mother becomes the daughter.....in some kind of freaky magical "body possession" thing. Hence the reason it is called Freaky Friday.

Well, because Kevin Bacon was missing from this dream, I figured I better determine what the Kevin Bacon number to Jodie Foster may be. It is 2 (Jodie Foster was in Sommersby with Maury Chaykin and she was in the movie Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon).

So....back to my dream: I had a dream that I switched bodies with my wife.

My wife could no longer multi-task (in my body), but I was doing all kinds of multi-tasking in her body. It was awesome! I watched a baseball game, ate a sandwich, nursed a baby and mopped the floor, all at the same time.

Coralee, (in my body), was really getting frustrated. I think the only benefit she found was the ability to walk outside and pee on a tree.

The next morning, I told Cora about my dream. She immediately suggested we get pregnant. I think I'd rather remain in my own body and pass a kidney stone.

    so you took the blog private, eh? probably a good choice. it's too bad they don't make a feature that lets you do an rss feed despite it being private. anyway.

    I agree. That's the one problem with all of these private blogs, I can't see the feed. Oh well.

Headlights and Tail Lights, Angels and Demons

We were driving home late the other night and Nathan said, "I like to think of the tail lights in front of us as devils." "And I like to think of the headlights behind us as Angels." "We are leading the battle of Angels and we're chasing all of the devils." I loved the creativity and imagination.  I had to share.  Driving at night will never be the same.  I have a feeling those words will stick with me. I thought a bit beyond his description and thought of those who pass me on the freeway.  They were once the Angels following me into battle.  Are they now Angels in the lead or the demons we chase?

A Father's Love

The other night, my wife and I were walking out of Walmart and saw a father with two young children.  Just before he left the store and went out into the cold night, the children both looked up at their dad and raised their arms above their heads, looking for comfort from the cold and icy conditions.  He bent down and scooped them up and carried them in each of his arms. Watching the man carrying two children, Coralee looked at me and said, "I remember those days." We both reflected on how quickly time has passed since our children were little.  Days seem to pass more quickly now and it is so easy to get caught up in the crazy and hectic routine that is our lives presently.  It isn't often there is time to slow down and reflect on those days of early parenting.  I speak as though the best memories have passed, but memories continue to be made everyday. Watching this father caused me to reflect on tender moments.  Our youngest is nearly eight years old. ...

Hollywood's Best Kept Secret

Are you looking for free entertainment?  Bring your family, a few lawn chairs and an hour or two of your time and you won’t be disappointed.  The stage?  A backyard.  The entertainment?  A couple of horses, 13 chickens and a funny looking bald guy.  The only thing that could improve the performance is if the bald man could somehow figure out how to juggle the chickens while standing on a horse’s back.  I’m working on the juggling act. I have a friend that admitted he’s buying the home behind me because of the entertainment value.  He said when people figure out “Hollywood’s Best Kept Secret”, the home values around me will increase dramatically.  Last year, I bought two horses from a mule ranch in Moab.  Mules are smart.  They test fences by bumping them with their chests.  They will then rise up on their hind legs and leap over the fence like a gazelle.  One of my horses learned the fence jumping skill from ...
