Whoa

So apparently last night was the night I decided to take strange journeys through Dreamland.

I was the Mayor of Halloweentown in zayna‘s dreams, which is kinda cool. In mine, I was me…but I was me being played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in a movie about my trip to Las Vegas for training. Apparently, though, my training ended up getting wrapped up in terrorists or bugs from space or something because I was running around with a gun in my kilt.

Yeah. Arnold was dressed like me, too. In my “No, I will not fix your computer” shirt and a black Utilikilt.

So…did I make any strange appearances in YOUR dreams???

Dear Alex (Your Turn)

Hello, my friends.

My last post was a letter to my son. Some of the memories of our time together, and my feelings for him. I’ve gotten several comments from you, through email and other sources, about how it touched you. I get the feeling, though, that some of you may not want to “spoil” the post with your comments.

So.

Here’s your chance. Today is his 10th birthday. If you’d like, leave a note for him here. Tell him something you’ve observed about him, or share a memory. This isn’t necessarily for him now. This is for him when he’s older and we’re all long gone. Take a moment and drop a thought into a time capsule. I think it’s a pretty neat idea, personally. Writing specifically to the future version of a person. If you do too, participate.

And thanks.

Dear Alex

As I’ve stated in the past, part of the reason why I keep this journal is so that you’ll have the ability to, some day, take a look back at what I’ve written and figure your old man out. Think of it as a kind of form of time travel, if you would. You can see yourself and our life through my eyes at the time. Or maybe you can just read this and confirm how much of a nutjob I am. Regardless, I full expect that someday you will have full access to this journal and will eventually stumble across this entry.

You’re ten years old today
