Good AM MS! Did you have a good night? I had many informative dreams. I had gone over to the next world. And tried to remember things frame by frame, going back and forth to gather them. Because we can't take the whole sequence with us. We have to remember each frame, and someone else has to be there to share the info with. And they have to be at the same 'level' or wavelength as you. Neat, eh? L&H S

An amazing experience. I was slow to learn, but eager. It felt like floating up to a treetop. Only higher, like in space. U were there. Parallel universe. We each can pick out a pet, that is compatible to our spirit, as we fly around space.I chose a little white bear dog, from a jewel case. You had 1, too. Everyone judged us on how well trained our pets were. They were trained, well. Can U imagine the horror of a compatible pet being like a monster?

Awww - Mr.Sweetie Bear! One synchronicity after another! As I pulled into Starbucks/Mcd's, there was a creme colored dog sitting in the back of the SUV, next 2 me, looking out the space in back window where the wiper had cleaned it. The sun was pouring thru. Master returned, as I sat there, listening 2 song on radio: J.Croce's "Time in Bottle" - Cont'd
- The verse was: "I've looked around enuf 2 know- that U'r the 1, I want 2 go - thru Time with!"- I thought of U! A magical moment in time. Then, in Starbucks, the barista just offered this story, how she's dressing up her Chiuaua as Dracula - Halloween! THEN: I walked 3 doors down to McD's, and there was a little white bear dog (Pug) sitting by her master, waiting for a little girl 2 come out. Well-trained Pug is 6, according to her master. Both so sweet! Awww! (Cont'd)

Twisters and Strange Aircraft
I looked out the Northeast window of my mom's house, and thought I saw twisters. We looked down, and there were people running through the streets with metal cylinders - like tanks - for water or fuel.
Then, as the twisters got closer and closer, they were coming into view. There were strange aircraft - That's all I wrote . . .

Good morning, MySteveMan!
Good morning beloved guests! [Karol and Elsie were visiting me from Detroit] How are you? Its a bright clear warm 'I love the smell of neighbor in the morning!' morning. no words from him, a smile or a smirk, I'm not sure which as long as the scent lingers! I had a dream last night, I either brought something with me out of it or something tried to leave here through it. either way, its here, I had to kick hard to get it off of me.
-----------
1-) I saw it as I did in my dream. A man that disapated into a dark cloud as I stood on a driveway talking to Amr. the cloud wrapped around me, it was oppressive, terribly heavy. I awoke and saw it on the foot of my bed. large, heavy. I kicked at it. I saw and heard it hit the wall. It had substance. I felt my feet hit it when I kicked. I felt I had another burden and said 'Not again!'
- 2-) I laid awake for a while as I listened to it move around the apartment. I went back to sleep feeling like I did when Junior was in the loft on Huron.
- 3-) I just got call from Junior, he traded his car for drugs last night. $170 worth. He did it because he went over to laura. Explains the dream, the presence, the feelings? His monkey? Is it here=now?
- 4-) Another call, the tendencies again, Richard losing the strength to help. I sent Richard a message to call me.
--------
Hello! The dream! Did U smell anything? Any other sounds like birds, music, water, wind? These are important. Karol is writing it down and will get 2 work on it. This is not sounding like a "J" dream. Thank U 4 the ck - it came 2day! YAY! Cont'd . . .
- Subject: Re: Part II
The cruise was absolutely georgeous! We had 80 degree wthr! Scott was so excited! He already knew about the surprise, however, which I'll explain. I'll give a call when things settle down. Oh - Karol loves what U wrote in the book, btw, and all say "hi" and send loves and huggs! Cont'd
- Oh, 1 more thing . . . was the dream in your mind's eye, or were you awake for the physical manifestation portion? We are on our way down to the Hancock Observatory, then a carriage ride. L&H Steve !:@>

There is a smell of spices in the room4when I wake. like cloves or something in a pumpkin pie.
- I was just napping after the poolside this afternoon. 2 new dreams, vivid. ended with a knock on my door (in dream). I looked out expecting Junior, all I see is someone in my own red windbreaker. cannot see face. I open the door and a person taller than him pushes door open , has face in black ski mask,
- The eyes arecovered with those small oval sunglasses. you look different I told him. he put his hands under my armpits sqeezing hard lifted me out of his way. it hurt like hell when he did that. my pager went off as he was moving me out of his way.
- Last night I was awakened by the weighst and major discomfort bordering pain as it clutched me. I awoke felt it rolled over saw it kicked it hard with the bottom of my foot. saw it and heard it hit the wall. saw it move toward closet. heard it lumber after. just like junior drunk. I was smelling spices then and did through the morning.

Here are some pics I took, yesterday. Back to Starbucks on Pierson for a couple of hours of refining the new sketches. Bughouse fountain is absolutely georgeous, now that summer flowers are in bloom!
I laid out on the rocks at Oak St to try and even up my splotchy tan and white legs and sides! lol More, today. Still defrosting freezer (since last night) - before I go out of town. [visiting Spencer in FLA] Will be thinking of all the little things I need to get done, before then.
Hope your day is productive and FUNNNN!
Love and huggs,
Steve !:@>

Happy Birthnight, Duckysweetie! Just got my pup tucked in - long day of being a Cgo Ambassador, (Official 'Greeter' for City of Cgo.) dancing lessons, tux shopping, an awesome Katherine Payne(sp?) cabaret show at Gentry, then vegetarian dinner at Cgo Diner, then meeting Martha,[my neighbor the actress/director] and cuddling at the Skybox! [My Place]
Wanted to send this pic to the AOL acct - of a memory souvenir I took, today, in honor of you, sweet one! Sweet dreams, love! Steve !:@>
- Ohhhh . . . one more thing, I almost forgot to tell you . . . the song "There'll Be Peace in the Valley" started playing, as I took that snapshot, for this special-edition birthday email! I think it's a June Carter Cash song - it was on a Johnny Cash soundtrack at the cafe! I didn't realize it, until after I took the pic. It was a special moment. For me. But, mainly for you!
Oh, and I'm glad you got to spend birthday dinner with J.T. Very, very cool! Gotta love that! I was getting very teary-eyed this evening, around 10pm at the Kathryn Payne show. Still a little overwhelmed by the utter 'peace' of this day. It has
been simply indescribable.
Clear, sunny, low 80's, breezy - great sketching, remembering you in our 'special place'[Starbucks on Pierson]- PLUS, great time looking forward to seeing my pup. (Week 7 and going strong!)Then an absolutely perfect evening, spent with him, beyond anything I could possibly
describe in mere words. Awesome, spontaneous night, meeting me at Maggiano's to pick up me and my bike (yes, I actually still HAVE it!)stopping by Gentry, on the way from Nordstrom, tux shopping, vegetarian (in honor of my 'no bread' diet this week,) meal at Chicago Diner (by Roscoe.)
Well, one final good birthday night wish - hope you are not feeling older. Just wiser. We don't do "old", remember? lol

Hello Sweetie!
I spent my writing time at a place, remembering someone very special, today . . . Notice the new "wing" [transmitting tower] is in place??? Had some most excellent inspiration, sketching and writing, today, and a flood of many warm (and many, many cold - brrr) memories - at a place you may be familiar with . . .

Johnny Cash
Girls, Boys, Autism? That's not the same as burnout. Letdown. Heartbreak. Confusion. Although it may render you, feeling virtually the same, it is only a temporary condition. Don't feel bad. We need to recruit you a Talaban to go on a mission. I shall wear a towel on my head. All thru the airport, Monday. And make shadow puppets on the in-flight movie! . . . Today, guess what? Johnny Cash died! I heard

Dream Stone Gem
Note: Scott was sleeping over . . .
Dream #1:
Someone came up to me and handed me a large ston-shaped piece glass. It was a huge gem from some museum. But it had no weight. I held it in my hands and arms and admired it. I was to put it on a special pedestal where it belonged. It "fit" in that one spot like some sort of futuristic component. Placing it on it's pedestal 'enabled' it's function. I almost dropped it (fumbled it), juast as I was walking over to put it down in its 'spot'!
Dream #2: Same Morning - 7:47 (note the precise moment.)
The great enemy came down out of the sky like many black jellyfish - only they were black video cameras with tentacles.
They were agens of darkness! Armageddon-esque!
Note: Puss puss was lying on my pillow above my head, when I woke up to write this down, and noted the time. She was curled up under my arm and made a gutteral sound as I wrote "Puss puss".
Air Collision
- "Flash" just came up to me in the dream and told me very distincly, and matter-of-factly that he saw something "Immediately around me" - an air collision! (He was clairvoyant, in real-life.)

FLOWERS!
Hello MySpencer!
Last night was one of those rare and unforgettable moments in time. We both looked forward to getting together, again, since Sunday, for a mooonlight walk on the beach, last pm, to see if we could view Mars. (We could not.)
We strolled, barefoot in the cool sand to the pier, under a beautiful orange-crescent moon, in search of the illusive Red Planet. The ambient light made it impossible.
We strolled to, and sat on the pier, touching and caressing. - I just then, told him the story of my stolen children, and my child-support problem - he had kind words, and expressed heart-felt understanding for my story. (Something I only reveal to my closest
loved-ones. Those who will not judge me, and know me for who I am. the obvious reasons!)
We walked back to the apt., and spent at least an hour, if not longer, listening to Josh Groban (some nights, Mickey) - and slowly getting naked on the window seat. Talking of our past loves, present soul loves, (you came up, of course), and our fantasies and dreams.
We adjourned to the love-nest (br) and had the most wonderful night and morning of passion, never letting go of one another. We finally got out of bed, just a little after noon,
and I stopped at 'our' (as in yours and my) Starcafe on Bryn Mawr, and he bought us our morning coffee.
I dropped him off at his place, basking in the afterglow that has not stopped, since the moment I met him . . . drove home, and hopped on my bike for a ride to North Ave and back. These were waiting for me, when I got home, today! (pic) Love and Huggs, Steve !:@>

One of the network gurus in here, now. The system crapped out, yesterday, only a few locations not affected. Today they moved TCP/IP to another system (We're not fully sysplexed, yet.) May be indirectly caused by that worm / virus - since they had to turn down communication on the Black Diamond. (Got up to 70% utiliz!) Maybe they turned some things off, that were needed??? We're still on alert, things not running thru, as smooth as they should. . . Frostbite never goes away, I don't think. It is like dead skin. . . A souvenir from the hell period. . . L&H - S

Theatre Complex in St. Elmo
Dream 1:
I was walking out in front of the house in St. Elmo, where I grew up - down a driveway. They had torn down all the buildings and dug up the parking lot/driveway. I had to step over chunks of concrete.
To the back, they were building some kind of business/theatre complex. The house was still there, but new windows.
Suddenly, I was in some lady's car by the railroad tracks, W. of the house. There was a teenage boy with braces on his teeth, belting out some broadway song, into a microphone.
He was really over-doing it. But, even stranger, the lady was accompanying him on her car horn. Also over-doing it. Really putting her whole body into it! "Body-stock?" (See diagram when I get it scanned in.)
Dream #2:
There was a dangerous precipice, I almost fell off of. The person I was with, I'd known a long time - not "with it" as far as 'sharp'.
Somehow I had 'seen' or known he'd fall, if he wanted to be with me. I let him, anyway.
I did not care. I let him come with me. He fell and I had his 'spirit' with me, forever - guilt?

Matching Gloves
Note: "Flash" was there, in this one . . .
Dream #1: At some street market:
A leather designer selling gloves, bags - caramel color - beautiful. We were leaving the market, walking home to Grandma Rhodes'.
We found several pairs of those gloves lying on the ground.
Spencer said to pick one up to see if it matches. They did. Then . . . two older ladies came along our path and saw us going through the gloves.
They said "Oh look, the gloves we bought for our husbands."
I wondered if they were for real or scamming. They spent hundreds of dollars on their gifts.
So, I have them back, while Spencer wasn't looking.
Dream #2: Billy Jo Marchman (real-life friend of my mother's, and a former teacher of mine.) - was preaching a sermon at some church. I asked my friend if she was a drag queen, today. He said "when is she not?"
Dream #3: We were at someone's house. There were some children, some pets, some beautiful people. There was a bag of new glasses - same color as the gloves. (See Dream #1, above).
I tried on the one pair that was different - tortoise shell. This one girl said they looked awful. Every pair I tried on made me look old and fat. (I saw in mirror.)

Good Friday Morning to you, my Spencer!
Last day of the Disaster turned non-disaster week! YAY! Another good thing to be thankful for! Oh, and did you hear the NY Lottery was 911 on 911 - about 5,000 people played that number, and won around $500 each!
Just heard of a near-Disaster in Miami. Terrorists were stopped, this morning (Fri.13), on I-75, near Miami, with bombs and detonators - bound for Miami. We just got a phone call, about it, here in the computer room, but it is unconfirmed, at this writing. [False report]
Another disaster happened yesterday, sort of in my world, or at least a little closer to home.
After I spoke with you, my homeless friend, Will showed up. He had $3 in his pocket, his mother gave him. It took him almost 3 hours to walk to her house to get it! He stopped by his campsite under the viaduct, and the Dept. of Streets and San. had thrown away all his clothes he had stuffed in a garbage bag, and his protective tarp, when they mowed, yesterday.
I threw his clothes he was wearing, in the wash, on Wed, and let him take a nice, hot shower, and sleep in a warm, clean bed, (well, sofa.) We ate cold-cuts, (he bought us, with the last $4.75 on his Link card,) picnic-style, around the living room, on pillows, and sat up and talked for hours.
I got him up at 5am, when I left, and saw him off. I let him use one of my bikes for the day, so he could make better use of his time (i.e. to find a job.) One of the guys who works at Panera, has also befriended him, and promised to meet him at noon, there, today to put in a good word, since he has already turned in his application.
He kept saying this phrase, "If you think things are bad, just think of me." And he is right. And you have to feel better, when you think about living under a bridge. I sat up with him and talked for a little while, last night, trying to keep his spirits up, and assured him that things will get better. Chicago is a rough city, when you're down. But, aren't they all? He says this one is really bad. I am not so convinced. I think it may be no worse than, say, the Deep South, or NYC, or any of the other cold ones in the North and Midwest, for that matter. I pray for each meal I receive, with deeper thanks, these days, is all I know.
Then, after I got WIll settled in for the night, I also tried calling Sonny back, several times. No answer. I was getting a little worried. His roommate walked in, while we were on the phone, and started a fight, and he had to let me go. Said he'd phone back, but never did.
When I woke up, this am, there were about 5 msgs. from him, overnight! Then he called before I left for work. He and the roommate indeed fought. Sonny's lip was bloodied. But he said he refrained from beating the guy up, too badly. He called the Police out, but since they'd both been fighting, and both wanted to press charges, they'd both have to be taken in. So, they ended up doing nothing.
I told him to try and stay away when the roommate is there, and soon he will be out of there. I know that is next to impossible to try and do, all the time. Soon, he will be with me, and these days will be a faded memory! Judy, (my brother's girlfriend out in CA,) and I both knew the roomate was a potential abuser, as did Sonny, and we have been worried about the living situation since we met Sonny. We sat down and talked about this very thing, when I was out there. I was so glad to hear from him this am, and to learn that he is okay.
I know you still love Junior, the orignal one. I know you miss that one. I think it was only a matter of time before you learned to see him, for the "whole", as I do. And, perhaps that would be better than feeling lovesick. I don't know. My only solace to you is, Time will help heal what the heart cannot. And consider yourself lucky to be alive, to not be permanently scarred from the abuse, to be free from future repurcussions of the violence. And pray that whatever town he travels too, the residents be protected by the Almighty, so this never happens to anyone, ever again. Period. . .

Good Friday Morning to you, my Spencer!
Last day of the Disaster turned non-disaster week! YAY! Another good thing to be thankful for! Oh, and did you hear the NY Lottery was 911 on 911 - about 5,000 people played that number, and won around $500 each!
Just heard of a near-Disaster in Miami. Terrorists were stopped, this morning (Fri.13), on I-75, near Miami, with bombs and detonators - bound for Miami. We just got a phone call, about it, here in the computer room, but it is unconfirmed, at this writing. [False report]
Another disaster happened yesterday, sort of in my world, or at least a little closer to home.
After I spoke with you, my homeless friend, Will showed up. He had $3 in his pocket, his mother gave him. It took him almost 3 hours to walk to her house to get it! He stopped by his campsite under the viaduct, and the Dept. of Streets and San. had thrown away all his clothes he had stuffed in a garbage bag, and his protective tarp, when they mowed, yesterday.
I threw his clothes he was wearing, in the wash, on Wed, and let him take a nice, hot shower, and sleep in a warm, clean bed, (well, sofa.) We ate cold-cuts, (he bought us, with the last $4.75 on his Link card,) picnic-style, around the living room, on pillows, and sat up and talked for hours.
I got him up at 5am, when I left, and saw him off. I let him use one of my bikes for the day, so he could make better use of his time (i.e. to find a job.)
