Last night I dreamed I was a reluctant lieutenant in the Russian Army in Moscow in WW2. I was a two sided personality, a toady that always seemed to comply with every order to give me latitude to steal the art works that were being “saved” from cities under siege. Nobody really knew what I

DREAM
I have a large section of Dreams going to the Archives, but there are several floaters not pinned to the page yet. Like this one. I am seated at a lengthy concert in a building older (but not the) than the concert hall, but with more leg room than Pantages’s or the Walker.

Early Morning Wine Store Blues (Dream)
A morning person, I leave the house before daylight. Two pariah dogs follow me as I hurry to get wine for Thanksgiving Dinner before the crows make shopping too difficult. I stop first at the new shop on the North side of Portage Avenue. The dogs , having delivered me safely, continue on their way.
