What a Night-Did Some Shopping-Never Left Home

Dreams are really wonderful things. I have noticed that in my dreams I often know the people involved; or at least they are vaguely familiar to me. Also, in dreams I can do things that I know that I can't do in reality. I remember having dreams in which I could run faster than a speeding bullet, leap tall buildings; you know, the whole Superman thing. In dreams you can do things you have always wanted to do but were unable to. You can do the impossible. You can...... well, follow your dreams!

Last night I had a dream. In this dream I was shopping. I was shopping in a Goodwill store. I was shopping in a Goodwill store for a toothbrush; an electric toothbrush. Now tell me, who goes to Goodwill looking for an electric toothbrush? I found one that I apparently thought would fill the bill. It was red. Not only was it red, but it had a Kool-Ade logo on the side. Now that is what I really want, an electric toothbrush that advertises for Kool-Ade. When I went to the counter to ask the sales lady about the toothbrush she informed that there was a small hole in the side, but that it still works. I looked and sure enough, there was a hole. I remember thinking to myself in the dream, "How did she know there was hole in it? How did she know that it worked? Did she use it?" Yuck! I put the toothbrush down. I didn't really want a Kool-Ade Electric Toothbrush anyway.

I don't think I will be following that dream anytime soon. Oh, and the lady. It seems that she is the mother of one of my students from several years ago. Just think, one night you might be working at a Goodwill Store or looking for used electric toothbrushes. Yeah, in your dreams; in your wildest dreams.

Before I go, I must tell you that Boo-Boo is sitting here with me this morning. He would like some attention and is trying to get it by rubbing his head on me while I type. This makes for a lot of re-typing. He also takes his paw and will touch my arm as if he is saying, "Play with me, PLEASE!"

"Yes I will play with you and rub on you Boo as soon as I finish this!"
