Jim’s Daily Rant. An Early Merry Christmas?
Memory Lane:
My Brother John was a year older than me. His biggest weakness was that he couldn’t turn down a dare. When he was about 30, all of my sisters were in town: Judy, Jenny Jacky Jane Joyce and Jean.
They ended up at an impromptu party at Mom’s house and were sipping the brew. Jane’s High School buddy Rhonda was there visiting her. I was an old married man at home where I belonged. In discussing Mom’s old house, it was recalled that her long bureau cabinet had a big hidden cavity in the middle of it.
Since Mom was asleep, they pulled it out in search of treasure. They found it. When we all went to catholic grade school, we had to be in the annual recitals. Mom made our costumes and they were all hidden in a large cardboard box there. I am told they all went down memory lane locating their own treasures in the stealth of the living room.
John’s treasure was a hand sewn pair of tan trousers, an Indian bonnet and a loin cloth. John took the dare to model for them. He ran into the room only in the bonnet and loin cloth! While promenading, Rhonda grabbed the front of the cloth for a peek and instinctively pulled back, popping the ancient elastic. He ran out in order to preserve his manly pride.

Last Night's Dream:
We were raised in Pensacola, Fla., the next town over from me now. Our largest factory is the Monsanto Plant. Last night I dreamed that I was asked to be on a team to help walk the plant through the collapse and Reset period. It was a one day meeting. I was the last to leave.
I realized I was lost in the huge plant complex and couldn't remember where I parked the car. One of the workers told me to wait and he would be right back. I waited three hours and never saw him again. The strange thing is that didn't upset me; I was calm. During the last hour I meditated and had an out of body experience. I flew over the car and recognized it. I woke up and simply walked out to the car.
A few days later Monsanto sent the team members a Christmas tree and invitation to a Christmas party in gratitude. The tree was as tall as me so I used a hedger to cut off the back limbs, put on a green robe and wired the tree top around my neck. I wore it as necktie.
After being there for a while, I saw my deceased brother enter the room sporting the same tie, only he was in his birthday suit. I was surprised because he looked 30 years old. I wondered then if I looked 29?

Now for the Strange Part. I always translate dreams as soon as I wake up and am getting up. For some reason, I never translated it. I went to work posting the news.
In my opinion, Jeannine gave us all an early Christmas present with this Trifecta she emailed me during the night.
