So, last night I had this crazy dream that did NOT include bicycles. In my dream, I was 44 years old (hmmm...seemed pretty realistic) but was living in an attic apartment in New York. My apartment was quite small and, in fact, it was so small that I couldn't stand full upright in it. I had to hunch over because the roof came in at an angle and even at the highest peak I couldn't quite hold myself up straight. Suddenly, in my dream I realized that I was living in New York, I was single with no children, had a really lame job that contributed nothing to the betterment of the world and I hadn't been to any cool parties with even a B-list celebrity.
About that time the crickets in my iPhone started chirping that it was time to get up and start the day and I awoke with the realization that as un-cool as it is to live in your home town, go to the same church you've been at your whole life (thanks for pointing that out, Elizabeth C.), my life is really fun, rewarding and full of great adventures and very special people. I'm certain I would have cried if you'd told me 20 years ago, I'd grow up to be a Realtor living in Lexington but I can honestly say it's all pretty darn good.
Uh-oh...more later...have to go drive a girl to ballet and pick a boy up from golf.

My captcha is "beraceme" which doesn't actually mean anything, but the fact that I wrote "clairebear" before made me think it funny.
And did you know that David's apartment in Charleston sounds exactly like what your "dream apt" sounded like. It was slanted at both sides and he couldn't even stand straight in the middle.. and he lived there for 2 years - AHHH. boys...
