dreams fantasies and reality
for the second night/day in a row, I dreamt that I went back to school…in the first one I went back to high school even though it was understood that I already had my diploma, which I got nearly 40 years ago…in the 2nd one, I went back to grade school to take some kinda weird test…one of the sections was a pair of illustrations and I was supposed to list the differences in the two…there was some kinda MAJOR event going on at the time, lotsa chaos…for the sake of expediency and because the teacher agreed with the uselessness of being given any assignment (again) about 40 years after graduation, she showed me the answers…in all the confusion I lost the test and the answers…that’s all I remember, but that’s more than enough…
my fantasy of joining a certain local band is a waste of time according to their occasional (female) Lead Singer…my gut reaction to her advice is to skip the show on Friday…there’s the taste of sour grapes in my Mouth, but I’m not sure who’s fault that is…
I went to a blues jam in VA Monday evening–there was NOTHING on TV, the house band drummer is a friend of mine…I was nervous when I got there and remained nervous until I left…This is partially because one of the most beautiful smiles/faces I’ve ever seen on Facebook was there…the mystery was how I’d seen her face in the first place, who of my friends was apparently one of her friends…turns out it was NONE of the Musicians at the club/o.m. last night…but it is a guitarist I’ve actually known for years…I played and sang rather well, had fun…the trip home was “innaresting”…traffic was stopped on the Beltway (both sides) but I couldn’t see a reason why…I got some sleep, I hope it was enough; I’m going Up North later…
