I woke up at 6:00 a.m. today fresh from a weird dream. Usually if I preface a statement about one of my dreams with "weird" it is totally redundant (to anyone who knows me that well) ... but of weird dreams, this one was especially weird in some of its features. Too weird not to tell. I was involved with some business people is some sort of company, and I was the annoying "talent" in the mix. There were these two "suits", a woman who was in charge and a man, and they had set up a meeting with some...

Last week I met my sister-in-law in one of the nearby villages to have an afternoon tea and listen to a lady speak about "vanity" collectibles; the presentation was called, "Vanity Fair".

A couple weeks ago a friend phoned to ask me if I could use some of her barn wood. She and her husband were refurbishing some of the buildings on their farm and there was a stack of lumber from a section of barn that had to be rebuilt. She said they were going to burn it, but recalled that I had said I could use some old barn wood for making picture frames. Two days later I pulled in at her place, meeting up with her and her husband to take a look at the pile of wood. It...
