Had lunch (tasty repast) with BH today followed by another film in GH's Fellini Festival--Amacord. The film was a visual treat! It was a lush mixture of people, life and events. There were a host of memorable scenes--as there might be in a film called I Remember. Look forward to seeing more of his films. It reminded me of the film Mafiosa that we watched earlier this year (or late last year). And of course, it was good to see it right after viewing Clowns.

I had an exceptionally clear dream last night. I dreamed that I was writing a book (or that there was someone writing a book that I was dreaming about). It was like I was watching a movie of the events and places that were being written about. In one part, I (or the writer) was in a cabin in the mountains. It had snowed heavily and the cabin was buried in the snow. The writer (or I) had prepared for such an event. The place was stocked with food and firewood--enough to sit out the winter and make it through to the spring. In different segments of the dream, I was with various people who drifted in and out of the dreaming like ghosts. There were thoughts of the dream cabin being somewhat like the cabin in Chaplin's Gold Rush, but better built and appointed. However, the place was really quite sparse and uncluttered. As I said, it was like watching a movie of the events and scenes. I awoke with a feeling of exceptional clarity and lightness.

My friend LL sent a note with her new address in Kauai. She leaves in a few days to relocate there. I think she is really going to like being on that island. Aloha! Didn't win the MegaMillion lottery last night, but neither did anyone else. The jackpot rolls forward to next Tuesday and will be an enormous amount up for grabs. Have to get a fresh ticket in the morrow.

Strange epidemics sprouting up in Mexico (swine flu) and Florida (meningitis). Lots of talk about pandemics and such. Let's hope not! The world doesn't need more stress and strife.
