It's always a bit staggering, isn't it, that vividness of something you had long forgotten (or not remembered, which is different) and have no idea why it popped back. <BR/><BR/>I love, love, love the way pieces of this story come out slowly. But there are days I just want you to write a long post and disgorge the basic outline. Cause it's obvious there's more - much more - than meets the eye. <BR/><BR/>It's like searching the web for spoilers of upcoming movies or TV episodes. Sometimes you just wan to know. But sometimes it is better to watch it unfold as the narrator intends.Which Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223363075283823935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-62031982064680820162008-03-18T16:43:00.000-04:002008-03-18T16:43:00.000-04:00That's a great shot.

I'm just saying. Lovely picture, but I'd keep the wet bar stashed down below. (Although they do look empty.)<BR/><BR/>The practical me always takes over, doesn't it. And yet I have no idea what to tell you about this Sarah business. Was the dream positive or negative? Do you think the dream was trying to get you to think about the Sarah thing, or vice versa, was the Sarah thing trying to get you to respond to the dream differently?Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376651134993450207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225058560254819105.post-76783472006059918102008-03-18T15:20:00.000-04:002008-03-18T15:20:00.000-04:00Christina: Well, to be fair, I can't really blame...Christina: Well, to be fair, I can't really blame Sarah for that.
