    The heat broke and I got sleep.  It was so nice.  The only bad part was that I had a strange dream.  I was cleaning out the gutters on my house and then something caused my ladder to fall.  I landed on my back and broke both of my clavicles.  I felt pain in the dream.  I woke myself out of the dream because I was feeling the pain.  It turned out that I had both my cats sleeping on my shoulders.  Then my next dream involved me meeting a Xanga.  It was strange because I had no clue with whom I was talking.  I saw things from the Xangan's eyes.  Basically it was boring and just me talking.  Then I ended up falling out of faith and enrolling at Notre Dame which makes absolutely no sense.  As I was buying books I ran into a guy claiming he was the head football coach.  It wasn't Charlie Weiss but it was Jeremy Piven.  He asked me to join the team and I did.  Oddly Notre Dame's facilities looked exactly like the locker room and weight room and fields of the high school where I taught and coached football.  Well even though I am old by college football standards I played.  I dominated but my knee problems caught up with me so they asked me to think about becoming a coach at one of their minor league teams.  No clue.  I ended up coaching at a Catholic high school and was pitted against my high school coach.  It was a tied game and then with one second left he took a time out.  I knew the play he was going to send in because it was the play that knocked us out of the playoffs in an undefeated season.  I signaled in what they were running and the outcome was the same.  One of our defensive backs intercepted a pass and took it 100 yards the other way for a touchdown.  After the game the coach refused to shake my hand and accused me of cheating because I was on the field when he used that play and also was a Catholic.  I woke up because I was laughing.  Anyway here's your weekly dose of motivation:





    Well there you have it.  I feel motivated to share a story I wrote.  It was originally a reply.  There was a question of the day by a Xangan whose name I can't spell right now.  Anyway, she asked where would you want to be if you could be anywhere.  I answered: In someone's loving arms.  She asked if I meant anyone specifically.  Well I started writing a reply and it turned into a little story.  Maybe I'll share it tomorrow.
