I must be running a fever. What else would explain my state of confusion and hallucinations?
I imagined that my Grandson (undergoing basic training at the Marine Corp training facility in San Diego) finally got a chance to write a letter home. There has been a 3-4 week period without any communication. Alas he did write. He sent his love. He mailed his only letter to his girl friend. I must be delirious because I know Mom’s and Dad’s get the first letter.
I imagined that the Greek government which is “broke” having trouble getting a loan. I guess their credit cards are over loaded. All the people living off government checks are refusing to give up any benefits. Can this be true? Rumor has it that Greeks now get 14 monthly checks in a 12 month year. I wouldn’t want to give up my cash bonanza either. Does anyone what to loan the Greeks money? You can only conjure this stuff up if the a fever reaches 103 degrees. I didn’t think I was that sick.
I imagined that Brett Favre again declared there is 100% chance that he will not play this year. He needs a minor bone spur operation on his ankle but that did not influence his decision. The strangest part of my delusion was that Favre changed his mind and came back to play. Again. I’m not well.
I dreamed that all the people that are in our country illegally are running the country. On top of that we employ, feed and provide “entitlements” to people who shouldn’t be here.. Isn’t that a silly dream.
To top off my delusions, some Harvard graduate pushed the wrong key at a trading desk and the whole stock market plunged 1000 points in 3-4 minutes. Mind you that it sometimes takes 2-3 years for the stock market to inch up 1000 points but our electronic gadgets can instantaneously lose years of growth. I dreamt that our Government launched an investigation and had now installed new penalties and controls. I’m really sick.
I imagined our Government owned General Motors and Chrysler. Of course that is not real.
Don’t despair. I think I’m getting better. Yep. NFL football players are still thugs. Prince Fielder is still having trouble keeping his shirt tucked in (and he is not hitting home runs). Tiger Woods is again playing golf. It is good to be getting back to reality.
Love,
Dad
