The Lion Sleeps Tonight


Dreams. I don't put too much faith in having my dreams explained with a bunch of pycho-babble. I find they are just the musings of an active imagination. I've been dreaming a lot lately and had one last night. It involved Ian/my brother as a kid and an almost drowning.

So this morning I wrestled with passing a possible omen (which I don't believe in, but...) to my brother (he leaves for San Diego tonight) or say nothing as, like I said I don't put too much stock in it...

I told him. My thinking is if he finds himself in a siltation, he'll know a possible outcome and maybe would do something to prevent that outcome. You know, if he accidentally falls into the water, swims for a minute trying to get out, then goes under (and sinks like a rock I tell you). At this point, I dove in and pulled him out. What I thought was Ian, looked more like my brother as a kid.

I told him. Most likely because of this story: Picture me, freshman year of college. My parents are celebrating, I don't know, maybe me being in college, in Cancun. I get a call late at night or early in the morning from my Dad asking if I was ok. He had a dream I was not and it ate at him. Funny stuff, but me even mentioning it now, brings back on of those moments where you remember every last detail about it... I laughed at him them, it was only a dream right?

So, while I doubt my brother will drown over the holiday season; I told him, maybe because I know I won't be there to pull him out...

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
