I don't always remember where I go or what I do when I'm asleep, but too often I wake up so totally de-energized. Last night for example, I remember trying to make my way through a maze of tightly packed streets driving some kind of large vehicle in a big unknown city. This is a recurring dream for me and the situation always has me highly stressed. I also seem to be interacting with a number of people. Some of them still living and some of them not. I was so tired by the time I woke up this morning that later when out for a drive with Pheebs I couldn't even talk myself into stopping anywhere to take my legs for a walk. I kinda remained in that depleted energy state for the rest of the day. Besides, the hot and humid day held little interest for me to be outside anyway.

Kelly's brother Peter and his wife Leslie traveling from Webster New York, arrived at the Ashwood Inn on the northern outskirts of Bayfield at 4 p.m. this afternoon. Kelly and I slipped over at 5:15 and picked them up for supper at the recently newly renovated Out Of The Blue Seafood Market. After that, we took a drive around the village and parked on Main Street for ice cream at Rosies Ice Cream Shoppe. Following that we had ourselves a drive down around the harbor and beach areas. It was a real nice sunny warm summer's evening. We dropped Leslie and Peter of at the Ashwood Inn around 8:15 and came home. We had a very happy little dog waiting for us.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( One Day the Devil challenged the Lord to a baseball game. Smiling the Lord proclaimed, "You don't have a chance, I've got Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and all the greatest players up here." "Yes", laughed the devil, "but I have all the umpires!"

They (whoever they are) say we work things out in dreams, chemical or emotional or all those other mysterious things. And I remember clearly that if people don't dream, they go a little bonkers. So apparently you had some heavy duty work going on, even if not understandable to you. I actually like a night of dreams, even though sometimes, I 'm a bit under the weather in the morning. Hope you had some ice cream, or at least a little, to recover.
