Strange DreamCategory: dreams
I had a dream last night that I was a run away child of a Yakuza mobster. Drew and Janelle took me in as a foster child.
Then, it started getting even weirder. They kept finding other kids hidden in their house that I'd took pity on and invited over. Like, we'd be in the living room and all of a sudden we'd notice some kid hidding under the couch. Or in closets, just everywhere.
Drew and Janelle were very sympathetic and didn't want to force these kids to go back out on the streets, but by the end of the dream there were like 30 of us kids in their house and they were starting to panic about how to take care of us. They were very aggravated with me for putting them in the position of having to take in all these kids, but were too nice to say anything.
Then I woke up.

Hahaha, join the absolutely outlandish dream club. You and (e:james) were on the terrace in front of my flat window, harvesting bananas from mini-palm trees with sickles in one of my recent dreams. Oh, and of course you were speaking in fluent Tamil. It was so bizarrely real, I had to get up and look out the window just to make sure.

I would throw your freeloading ass out. I don't know what Janelle is talking about.

What a funny dream. Rofl. If you were the child of a yakuza mobster, did you look Japanese or were you still white?
The funny thing is that Drew and I would be too nice to say anything about all those kids. We'd just step up and take care of them.

I hope this dream doesn't come true. It's funny, just last night I joked that as the economy collapses, we may have to take some people in. I didn't think it would be you, jim.

E:Strip Holiday DinnerI'll be planning an (e:strip) holiday dinner, for sometime in early December (between Thanksgiving and Christmas).
This post is just a heads up, I'll make another post in a month to nail down availability and the best times for everyone.
JJ's and India Gate have both worked out OK in the past. If the group is big enough I'll reserve a banquet room somewhere to make sure we have enough space. Any ideas along these lines, please comment!
Cheers,
Jim

That is pretty awesome of you Drew. I feel bad always doing stuff at PMT's estate.
Just for (e:Janelle) I will bring a giant can of institutional pudding!

I love a pot luck and can share church space. I would open my home, but it is rather pet-infested.

May I also suggest pot luck at some place free of pets. Either that or Paul had to wear a hazmat suit.

All too familar, especially the Delaware Utica sign, my building is in the background where I was angrily shaking my fist at Timon Towers for being lit up like a christmas tree.
Wow. That makes me not miss buffalo so much.
I was just thinking yesterday the tree tops looked so un-mangled once again.
That is so crazy. I look outside and I still can't believe it ever happened. Awesome pictures. The colours in the first one are so beautiful.
