Loose Laces

Not the best way to begin a new year I suppose. My cold seems to have peaked and I still feel bad. Other things are going on to make me feel even worse. One thing for sure, most of the time it doesn't pay to be me.

For the first time in probably 20 years, I was up and about when the ball fell. I didn't care, though; I stood on the porch and watched the sky and clouds for awhile instead. Pretty meaningless is the celebration on this date. It should have been celebrated on the solstice, December 22, 2007 or at earth's closest approach to the sun—perihelion—which will be tomorrow evening.

Napped and watched the TN vs WI football game. Two fairly inept teams playing to make their colleges some cash and get contract extensions for poor coaching. Mediocrity pays very well in big time college football.

I trust everyone is having a good New Year's day. Hope you get well soon, Robin.

While lying awake last night, I thought of something that might make a good poem, but by the time I got up this morning, it had escaped my pea brain.

I also had a dream (nightmare?) in which I was walking in public while jaybird naked. Although I was the only one in a state of undress, for some reason it didn't seem unusual; people would look, then go about their normal business.

I've had similar dreams before, but in the others I drew an enormous amount of attention and derision. I'm afraid I will sleep walk one night and wake up in a crowd of people along the street. If I do, I'll have to change my name and move out of state. It's embarrassing enough just dreaming about it; in reality it would be traumatizing for me and most anyone who is unfortunate to see such a figure.
