Happy Valentine's Day to my adoring fans (and to those of you who are only humoring me as well) Today our long strange trip takes us through the Tunnel of Love. Yes folks-today is National Condom Awareness Day. I would like you all to be aware that there are condoms.
Now that I've got the public service announcement out of the way, let's get to the nitty gritty. According to the newspaper trivia wizards, Valentine's Day began as "Lupercalia." This was a four day Roman festival of love, sex, and fertlity that took place in the middle of February. WOW! Leave it to the Christians to "church lady" it up and make a Hallmark holiday out of it. Just as the seven days of "Saturnalia" became Christmas.
This morning I was having a rougher time getting out of bed than usual. I was having these dreams about this city. I had a dream about reaching out the window to a "helping hand", and a dream about me living above a corner inner city grocery store.(stay tuned for the story of my icgs experience-tomorrow?) Anyway, I peeled myself out of bed (kinda like trying to get silly putty out of shag carpet) and said to my "sweet baboo"-"I was having these intense dreams about being in the city." Then I went into what I am going to start calling the bathroom vortex, and -GUESS WHAT!!! I turned on the radio (I can't stand to shower without it) and the song "Dream On" by Aerosmith was ending. The very next song they played was "In the City" by the Eagles!!! I wasn't sure if I was yet awake, or if I was still Dreamin On. I guess when your life is a fabulous as mine is, you get to Dream your Reality!!! (but "when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door!")
