dream a little dream

Thursday, November 21st, 2002

I slept an enormous amount last night. I ate a huge dinner and decided to lie down just for a minute around six o’clock, and woke up at ten. Then I stayed up until one, and woke again at 9:30. In the midst of all of this sleeping, I had a dream [...]
