Missed dates and dreams

Mimi called me to ask if I wanted to meet her around nine in Korea Town. She and some friends were planning on watching the Pachyderm parade. Every year, the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey circus brings their elephants through the Queens Midtown Tunnel to Madison Square Garden at midnight. Every year I plan to go. This year I had to turn her down. I was staying in to recuperate.

While walking home I noticed that Ben and Jerry's free cone day is April 19th. Last year I left for the Middle East on their free cone day. It's amazing to think a year has passed.

Last night I dreamt first that I was in a western and then that I was offered a job to work at the bookstore in Macy's. Of the first dream I only remember a hazy glimpse of the landscape. Of the second, I remember already being an employee of Macy's unloading boxes. When taking something to the post office, I was approached to work in the book department because I looked trustworthy. I was wearing a t-shirt borrowed from one of the other departments and a badge. I got to ride in the employee elevator. Posted by eku at March 23, 2005 8:09 AM
