Dance class this morning. Room was chilly despite the outside heat. We warmed up quickly though and went through a bunch of dances. I was slightly zonked when we stopped. Lunch at BH's/GH's helped me climb out of the zone. BH made his favorite pasta (from scratch). It was a treat!

We watch Fellini's The Clowns. In some ways, it was a sad movie. The camera was taken to the homes of retired clowns--men who had once been famous but who no longer had a venue--the circuses were dying off. The movie was magical in that it paid homage to these people and to their art. The scenes were filled with color, slapstick, and pieces of documentaries that captured the flavor of their art. It was a huge cast--of mostly ex-clowns! Thus begins our Fellini festival!

I dreamed last night a continuation of a previous dream (dreamed sometimes in the past but not necessarily recorded). I was directing the flight of three huge transport vehicles. The vehicles were shaped like some kind of missiles. Each of them contained a nuclear payload. I had disarmed two of the missiles, but there was still on with a lethal payload. I was taking the three vehicles into an orbit around a planet. I was in contact with the people on the ground. They knew what payloads I was ferrying. I told them that two of the missiles had been disarmed, but that a third had not. We were in intense communication regarding what we needed to do to limit any damage that might be done. The dream was like an ending to a previous dream I had had in which I acquired the three missiles--all of which were armed. In the previous dream, I had managed to disarm two of the vehicles. We'll see what the dream machine will generate tonight.

It's starting to cool a little bit, but still remains hot and muggy. I'm drinking tons of juices. Love the blackberry/pomegranate juice squeezes. Yummy, yummy, for my tummy! Time for another slurp!
