Mr. T's autograph session
I did have long and complicated dreams, but I don't remember them that well.
I was working with Mr. T somehow, and he didn't have anything to do. So I went to my bookshelf and started pulling out books for him to autograph and pictures of him from magazines. I told him which pictures were Kathleen's and which were mine, and he'd just sign away. "That was a good idea; I'm not nearly so bored now." I had a picture that I wanted to scan in to look like a book cover, so I also looked for an appropriate book to get ideas from, but didn't find any,
Matt and I went to a nursery in a big truck to buy grass seed. While he was talking to the salespeople, I went to the record collection and started browsing through their albums for sale. I found a Shaggs LP for $8.00, but the girl on the back didn't look like a member of that family at all. It seems the Shaggs fell apart after she--Linda Shagg--married a wealthy athlete. Then we were taken upstairs and given a sales pitch about buying the top four flights in the barn. Once you went up one flight, you couldn't get back down. We weren't interested, but there were three other sets of people that at least pretended to be. I noticed my dad up there in his silly cold-weather hat. He was tired and said he was in his 2:45 pm slump. The real estate agent did succeed: one couple bought all four stories. Then we did get to go back down the stairs.
There was more, but I can't remember right now.
