I dreamt I was on roller skates last night. This was after I was an assistant to a professor and I disrupted a student that had been allowed to give racist rant. A mother of a student needed a ride home instead of taking the bus and I volunteered to pick her up at the bus stop. I skated off the curb and around a parking lot. I was surprised in my dream that I did so well. I busted my tailbone rather badly during one of my last forays on skates. I'm still working on the walking without falling thing so putting on wheels is a major fall waiting to happen. Did my dream have anything to do with all the living that I a doing. It must. Oh, by the way, they were old school four wheel skates not the super cool modern in line.
My dream also made me think of the video my kids called "Sunset Sam" although its true name is "Cruisin". Michael Nesmith is a genius. His video "Elephant Parts" was true musical wonderment with a lot of comical skits thrown around. Can I get an "Ayrrrrrr!!!!" We watched this over and over. My kids and I still quote lines to each other. He made Pirates cool in the '80s.
Michael is also a Dallas kid. His mother worked and developed Liquid Paper from her Dallas garage. He then became famous as a Monkey. I loved, loved, loved that show. I was a young teenager when it was on for the first time. My Dad would not let us watch so we loved when he was gone and my Mom watched it with us. When they went into syndication it was heaven. Back in the day it was Davey or Mickey as the cool heartthrob with Peter as the addled clown and Michael as the smart one. You were never supposed to swoon over smarts only beauty. I guess it's still that way.
Anyway, enough rambling over dreams and icons. Back to work!!!!
