April 19

Hit the snooze button four time, then turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. I woke from a vivid dream which left me feeling "eerie". I think it was a disguised memory.

My sister and I were visiting my young uncles, Reuben and Hermon, when they were young before they went into Army for WWII. [Actually this never happened bck Hermon lived in Detroit where he worked at Graham Paige, an auto maker. too small to rescue. Persis, did he room with Uncle Phil?
Reuben lived in Jackson where he worked for Burroughs who made little speed bumps that rose up in front of a traffic light when it turned red. The only person who ever heard of them was Stormy who seemed to think they still exist.]

In the dream there was a party or something. My mother had sent a message for me to read to Reuben. I started to read it, but it was not words. It was letters arranged to look like words, mostly consonants. I couldn't read it. then I woke up.

And so it goes at 10:34 AM. I have too much on my plate today to go to church.

We went off to the dog park. as we were coming home Allen called on his way to. Sorry we missed him. Some people recognized Lady Chica from her picture on Facebook.

I copy this journall onto my blog spot every night. Last night my blog spot was locked. I guess my comments about the governor were too caustic.

Leslie had a dinner party tonight. her boyfriend flew in from San Diego. He is fascinating. he learned to program when he was in high school in 1967.

Blitzen's Tale
