If I dare, I will try to document the dream that I had last night, the one that swung in and out of focus all day long. I could have decided to brush it aside and instead, allowed the many distractions of the automatic motion that was this day to take over and dispel any other output.
First off,...

It all started with a cat. The cat set the scene. The memory starts with me on my way home from work wondering what to get hubby for Christmas. We were living in Kensington then, close to Berkeley and barely managed to pay the rent on a very expensive apartment. Still, we were so happy with so...

Daniel has been overseas for two years now and has visited more than forty countries in that time. Presently he...
