I won't say this is my best dream, but telling about it has gotten me some good laughs. In this dream, I was supposed to perform a song in a school auditorium. They had me signed up to sing The Peanut Butter and Jelly Song, whatever that was. I did ask one person there what that song was, and was told, "Just make it up." When I got up on stage, I figured I'd tell a joke first just to warm up. The joke was, "You know, Ojai must be a friendly town. Why else would they have named it 'Oh Hi!'" Dead silence, no rim shot, nothing. So I just started singing, "Pea-nut but-ter and jellll-eeee..." and woke up. Dead silence and no rim shot here, either, huh? Well, I guess you had to be there...

^ Not into Cleveland weather. < Not into mayonnaise. V Not into Amtrak!

I'm twice as old as people half my age. Eric

When that box fell out of my car, there was cause for alarm, being that the box was full of alarm clocks that I was taking to meet the train at the harbor. Eric

I was absolutely terrified of the Matterhorn when I was a kid, but around age 12 I woke up and realized that these contraptions are kinda fun. The rest is history. Eric

Today was my wife's birthday. She's in Indianapolis on business and couldn't talk, so I sent her a text message wishing her Happy Birthday. Work was pretty busy. We spent the whole day going over wiring diagrams. That was fun. I took Diana out for dinner at Wendy's. We both had chili, and we both still have all ten of our fingers. That is all. Time for bed. Eric

I get to work two casino jobs this weekend. That means almost $200 extra cash! Just in case anyone's wondering what I'm talking about, I work with this organization on various weekends. Kinda fun, actually. A friend of mine started the business back in 1996 and I've been with it since the start. He just sold it to one of our dealers, but it's still going strong---perhaps stronger! And I'm the guy on the left dealing roulette in this picture. Eric

I think that also happens if they eat aerosol cans! Eric

^ Has trouble spelling. < Has no trouble spelling. V Has trouble with doorknobs!

Diana and I went to Wendy's for dinner tonight. Normally we go out on Fridays, but she and mom are going to SFMM for that KZLA country music thing. Doesn't matter---I shouldn't be drinking Frosties anyway. Eric

^ Likes chocolate. < Loves chocolate. V Loves boogers!

^ We had to disect worms in my 8th grade science class back in 1972, and we named our worm "Squirmy Wormy." He didn't squirm for long, though... Eric

< Glad he lives a couple of valleys away from all that madness. Eric

Maybe I'll get a chance to go to Wonderland and ride that weird O.D. Hopkins coaster, Texas Tornado. Is that any good? Eric

I live in Camarillo, and next weekend I'm going to Amarillo. Eric

^ Milk drinker. < Diet Coke drinker. V Slow thinker!

Believe it or not, I've only logged two rides on CS; one during the day and one at night. Nice long ride, but not terribly exciting, in my opinion. But its smoothness reminds me of what SFMM's Revolution could be and used to be. Eric

Just what is the purpose of doing this? Just to see if it can be done? Bizarre looking critter, I must say. Eric

^ Lotta corkscrews on that thing! I have an optical mouse and I just let the mouse sit there. The picture kept zooming, but I noticed that it took twelve seconds to repeat the entire thing. Very interesting, though. Eric

^ Multiply the kg by 2.2 and you'll get the pounds. Using that factor, you weigh approximately 248 lb. Eric

^ Surfs at work. < Surfs at work. V Surfs in the shower!

Robb asked: "Are they anything like the Wonka-vator?" No, there's no glass to see outside and they stay in the building! Eric

^ I was kidding. Luxor does in fact have diagonal elevators, and they're called "Inclinators." And I did take a ride in one once about ten years ago. It's a different feeling with the combination vertical/sideways movement. As for random, well, if I put stickers on my car will that protect the paint? Eric

If elevators moved diagonally, then they'd have to put them in at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, since vertical elevators wouldn't work very well there. Eric

I get to spend the whole week with my daughter while Mom is on a business trip. Diana and I have so much fun together. Eric
