At the moment I am suffering through a mild flu or a medium strength cold. Either way I'm headachy, stuffed up, sneezing and not good company at the moment. Three aspirin, two 250mg tablets of vitamin C and eventually some more vitamin C with valerian root I'll be asleep and hopefully feeling healthy enough to not get ornery at work.

In Yer Dreams!
I stood atop one of the Canary Islands when I felt the ground shake beneath my feet. The island violently shifted and I watched in horror as it slid into the ocean, displacing trillions of tons of sea water.
A tall, roaring tsunami erupted from the surface and began its enormous trek towards the coastline of the United States of America. Soon it was tailed by a series of several smoother, glassier waves borne from the aftershocks. Some adventurous surfers paddled out and rode these until their inevitable and disastrous arrival.
In my mind I could see the muddy, filthy sea water washing ankle-deep over New Jersey and its surrounding areas. Everything that I remembered, knew or loved was scoured from my neck of the woods on the North American continent leaving only straggly, dying treetrunks and gasping sea creatures.

A more drastic change in the dream took place at my presumably destroyed former homestead. I was downstairs and found Ben laying in his bed. When I walked into the den, Ben stood up and walked over to me. I rubbed his big melon and patted his side making satisfying drum noises against his ribs. The rest of the dream had me shouting for everyone to come down and see that Ben was walking again!
ben
I would hope that no news is good news. My father hasn't let me know anything about Ben's condition. Right now I don't have the balls to see if there are any voicemails waiting for me.
This would be one of the times where I sincerely wish that dreams would come true.

As you know, gentle reader, I recently saw La Strada.
In my lazier, contemplative moments I identified with Zampano. A loutish brute with a short temper. He destroyed everything that's good in his life and once he realized that he had to sleep in the bed he made, he couldn't live with the consequences.
Zampano was unable to really appreciate the good things in his life. Also he couldn't see the potential for success if only he could put up with The Fool's constant and undeserved ribbing.
This isn't making any real sense.
