It is now 5:02 a.m. (EDT).


Dreams abounded, but this time I was something I have never had the slightest interest in becoming, nor have I been exposed in any real way to the prospect of being engaged in -- and that is asbestos removal.

Yes, you read it accurately:  All my dreams were about me learning how to detect and supervise the removal of asbestos from usable buildings.  Happily, it did not involve me learning any useful techniques on doing it....it was simply my character's occupation.  I was, apparently, in character the whole night.

DR Ron I believe that prednisone can trigger vivid dreams.

The other dream I have was a bit of a sweet one.

I was sitting on a sofa in my den, having coffee.

A voice behind me, my mom's, asked me if I had eaten anything with my meds.
She put her hand on the back on the sofa next to me, and I put my hand on hers and said "Yes."

She asked me if I knew what had happened to the funds.

??  Funds?  What funds?  "The funds that are paying for Trump's legal defenses."

While trying to understand why she would care, I heard a slight slump.  Although I was still holding her hand, I turned and realized she must be on the floor.

I awakened and smiled because she reached out to me from beyond.

Awww, this is sweet.  I'm glad you had a good dream.

Since DR Jane mentioned gingerbread yesterday, here's a recipe for sticky Jamaican ginger cake:

This looks delicious.  I would stay with the original Golden Syrup in the recipe vs using the alternate maple syrup.

I never had seen a KeyCock

I never hoped to see one

But now that one has left his flock

I'd rather see than be one.

I continued to be grateful that 22 years ago we were not packing for our trip home on Flight 93.

Keith had returned on that flight the day before and I was no longer pouting he hadn't taken me with him.  Instead I was preparing for my book group's yearly luncheon which I was hosting.

Plane will be about an hour and a half late, thanks to the rainstorms earlier at JFK.

They're coming in from Phoenix. They were in the Tucson area all week, but their friends live in Queen Creek which I see is in the southeast part of Phoenix, and that's where they stayed last night.

I've instructed them to wave to DR Laura on takeoff. They were only there for the one day, so maybe next time they can say stick around and say hi.

This is the anniversary of the day that Mom and Dad set out for Ireland. Their flight to New York was delayed and they missed their flight. They were due to fly out early Sept. 11, but it was not meant to be. They spent the next seven days trapped at JFK.

It's always amazing when you hear about these (extremely fortunate) near misses on 9/11.

I've been reading an article about a plane that flew from Switzerland to Spain without any luggage due to a shortage of ground staff.

To make matters worse, they neglected to inform the passengers.  People waited two hours for their luggage to come out before someone finally told them.

I'm just surprised there wasn't any mention of people with airtags noticing their luggage wasn't on the plane.

My favorite comment and response:

I saw a ' Twilight Zone' once where the baggage arrived, but the passengers didn't.

Guy who lived across the hall from me worked at the restaurant, Windows on the World, but he was not working that morning.

How often has it lined up since then that September 11 was on a Tuesday like it is this week?

I remember I attended the US Open Men’s Final on the Sunday prior. It was a lovely day and a very bad tennis match.

Today's food is very mild - two chicken breasts from California Chicken Cafe - and well under 1000 calories.
