the Past is NOW
From about 1961 until 1985 I lived in a neighborhood where (initially) all the houses looked alike…Before Dad had aluminum siding put on the house, he painted it periodically…It started out with grey shingles…Not sure which came first, but at some point Dad painted the house brown with white trim…after awhile he reversed that color scheme…Anyway, overnight (or early this morning) I had yet another dream with the brown house as the setting…this happens enough to worry me a little…the other people in the dream are usually people I currently know, which makes no sense to me……for instance–in this latest dream I was mowing the back yard when I noticed a large brown creature eating something…I couldn’t tell if it was a horse or a bear or a giant dog or what…I called out to my “roomie” (also my former Wife–not even gonna bother explaining THAT) to come see this thing…I was somehow able to throw whatever it was eating/playing with into the yard next door…she and I NEVER lived in that house together, I doubt if she was there more than once or twice…I suspect it means that I DO regret moving away from Glen Burnie but I’m not yet ready to fully agree with that…Twenty-seven years is a long time…you would think I’d be settled in as a Montgomery County/DC area resident by now…It’s true that I don’t always know my way around; SHE does, but she’s lived here longer…
Michelle and Rick did a gig w/o me last night; if she can’t get it thru her head that I work on Tuesdays she really IS a dingbat…I doubt that Michelle needs the money but maybe Rick does…and *I* don’t ? She said she wanted “to keep our foot in the door”–of a place she no longer wants to play? Yeah, THAT makes sense…whatever…
