Dream Becomes Reality

January 8, 2007 at 10:50 AM

What happened? It seems like somewhere in the course of the past year, it grew up all around me, like a booming suburb. The reality of a dream takes up a lot more space than it does on paper.

Sometimes, I think my dreams are so big they will swallow me whole. Not that this bothers me. I would rather that, than not.

That's good, I think...

Neil

Emilina you fill your head with dreams that don't happen to people like us.
It is good. I just haven't had time to putter around here in a while, and judging by the looks of the upcoming rehearsal and performance schedule, it doesn't look like I will be having time any time soon.

Hey guys, completely random thought, but in case anyone was worried by abnormally warm temperatures in the Lower 48, I would like to assure you that we still have cold up here. Like -30 cold. So stop worrying and enjoy it.

Well I'm worried. I'm in Ottawa and we aint got no snow. Where's winter Waldo?

Neil

Lower 48? It was by 70 last Saturday!
Hey Neil, **it happens. We are on the east side of a continent, that makes for variability and extremes. Remember, 2002 was a hot winter, too, but 2003 and 4 were extremely cold. 1995 and 1996 were very snowy, as were 2004 and 2005. It just goes around and around.
Yes, it's cold here, but they are calling for a high of 1 degree tomorrow.

We're having a heat wave...

See you at rehearsal tonight? I'll be late.

Normal is just an average of a bunch of abnormals.
Keep warm and keep dreaming.
I don't know about you all, but I dream of playing the pipe organ! (If I ever actually take up a keyboard instrument for real, it'll be the organ, that's for sure.)

We're enjoying the dry roads over here in Vermont, but the ski areas are having a heckuva time just trying to keep any trails open at all, and I'm waiting to go ice skating again!

George is stuck in Canada.
