Dreamed last night about being in a small, rural town. I had moved there and was getting to know some of the people in the town. I was staying in a small cottage that was surrounded by woods. I was at a gathering where I was being introduced to people. The scene was warm and comfortable. Everyone that I met seemed pleasant, open and interested in learning about who I was, where I had come from, and what I planned to do.

In another part of the dream, I had gone for a walk along a road that led into the town. As I walked along, I was trying to find a particular place, but was not doing so. There was a small shop and I went in to ask if I could look in their telephone book for the place I was trying to find. The man that met me at the door invited me in and began to tell me about a job he had that I might be able to do. It was like a technical support job dealing with helping people use their computers. It was certainly something I could do and I told him I was definitely interested. We sat down to discuss details.

I believe there were other dream fragments, but nothing solid from them available now. Awoke a little sore from dancing last night. The few weeks off of regular classes and dancing makes a difference. Several dances that I recently learned were danced last night. I had trouble remembering them exactly. Wobbled through and they started to come back. Practice--the only way to burn them into the synapses for sure.

Getting a late start today. Read last night after returning from dancing until early in the morning. Finally hit one of the O. Henry stories that I couldn't finish. I couldn't get my brain around the story and its point(s), if any. Just seemed like a writing exercise instead of an engaging story. First one of many that failed to deliver--impressive record for nearly 40 stories.

Didn't win the MegaMillion, yet. Get another shot on Tuesday.

Not going to QS dance tonight. It's up in SM in the place with the sticky floor. We'll probably go to a movie instead and maybe grab some dinner.

People out in hordes today. They're shopping for the weekend assault on diets and stomach linings. Tons of food flowing through the supermarket doors. Homeless people gathered in clumps near the entrances hoping for a spillover of largesse in their direction.

Fortunately, I could get in and out with minimal standing in lines. My so few purchases won't even appear in the daily summary of total transactions. Read that a Japanese man was able to faultlessly recite over 80,000 digits of pi. Guess my 50 digit recollection is not anywhere near that scale of UBI (Useless But Interesting) data. He replaces a man in the Guinness Book of Records who had recited, from memory, about 40,000 digits.

Grabbed a sandwich from the Cheese Shop--classic grub. Lady who took my order has been there nearly longer than I am old. She's been there a while, but still packs a mean sandwich.

Feeling a bit logy today. It's heating up outside. Looking forward to evening cool down and the stillness of the night. In the meanwhile, rest and restore. Let the sandwich fuel my system.
