SQUARE TOILET

This is a vintage toilet that is currently in use at a friends house.  I ran to get my camera the moment I laid eyes on it's squareness.  She promised to let me have it if they decide to move.  I've been looking through real estate guides for them ever since ;)

Your First Blog Will Most Likely Suck

I googled "first blog ideas" just now.  The search result that jumped out at me right away was "Your first blog will most likely suck".

Nice.

With that in mind  . . . I had a dream last night (what? did your eyes just do a roll?  hey, this IS my first blog) anyway I was flying, yes flying, not an uncommon dream, I know.  I've had this dream before and it always starts out like this: I'm jumping on a fairly springy surface that looks like the black tumble mats from my childhood gymnastics class (happy memory).  All at once I become airborne and take off flying and it's so cool because the vantage point is awesome and I feel so powerful and uber-graceful.  I'm floating and diving and swirling and spinning like air ballet all the while picking up speed in direct relation to the joy with which I feel.  Herein lies the problem.  I don't know how to land.  I'm flying without a protective anything at breakneck speed over pointy trees and sharp towers and concrete, gravely roads.

I try a few Sister (you know from The Flying Nun) Bertrille moves ducking my head, chin-to-neck.  It's working.  I'm going down alright, however, I haven't slowed down.  Is this that tragic ending that happens when you are dreaming that you die . .  so . . . you die?

But wait,  I didn't die.  I woke up.  I must have woken up because I'm here now pounding out my first sucky blog.  So how did I land without crunching up my bones and smearing my spare tire and back fat all over the ground???  Dunno.  But I will probably soar again if that black spongy mat appears in another dream.  And until it's time to come down to earth I will feel marvelous kind of like drinking wine with friends that make me laugh and forget how much I've swallowed until it's time to get up in the morning and go to work.  I'm gonna do it again.  And again.  If I get the chance.
