I awoke several times during the night, having dreamed of a certain someone I haven’t seen since late 2007. She hadn’t visited my dreams for a long time. During the dreams I experienced the pain of separation from her. Upon awakening there was no pain. I was simply fascinated by the clarity of the images, which included a gold wedding band, and the power of the hold the woman continues to have on me. I know exactly what triggered it. My friend Bob’s love is 34 years younger than him, the lady in question is 17 years younger than me. I hope his pursuit is more successful than mine was. He is certainly more direct with women than I ever was. Good luck, sir.
How ‘bout the Chicago Bulls? They’ve been without NBA superstar Derrick Rose the entire season, and still managed to earn the fifth seed in the eastern conference playoffs. They've lost Luol Deng, their second best player, to a freak medical issue, and guard Kirk Heinrich to a calf injury - and still won game seven of the series against the Nets in front of a packed house in Brooklyn, and game one against the heavily favored, defending champion Heat in Miami - without Hyman Roth! I laid the eleven points at Crowdpicks.com, certain they'd be too gassed to challenge an excellent opponent. It's a good thing that involves no cash. Kudos to the players and their coach, Tom Thibodeau.
The floating book shop was visited by a Russian woman who came to the United States at the age of 43. I'd guess she's now 60. She forced herself to learn five words of English per day. Her mantra was: "Improve, improve." She does not understand those of her friends who refuse to learn the language of their adopted homeland. I was reminded of my mom, who time and again frustrated my attempts to teach her English. Hats off to you, madam.
I hadn't seen Marsha in about two months. I now know why - she became a grandma for the first time. She asked me to tell her about my books, and bought Killing. Thank you, and also to Anita, aka the Merry Mailwoman, to Alan, and to the pre-teen, who asked his mother to buy Jeffrey Toobin's The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court. And to think I'd suggested a couple of sci-fi novels to the kid. Silly me.
