I'm playing with Lizzie in my bedroom I find a bag of marbles and I pick a couple out and toss them under the bed. Lizzie starts playing with them and then I notice she's choking on one of them. I panic and try to give her the Heimlich maneuvre and think maybe I should call the emergency vet. 

I go over the the Moss's to borrow something. A stranger answers the door and discover Phil doesn't live there any more. The guy at the door implies that he had a long-term affair with another teacher and he lost his job and had to move. 

Someone asks what Dave Stoll would name two birds if he had them as pets. I say"Asia Minor and Asia Major." (Minor or Minah, get it?) Then A bunch of us are in a big circle on a parking lot and we're passing and kicking basketballs to each other. Dave's there and I go up and give him a big hug.

I've just come back from a quick space mission. I have a red coffee mug that I took with me. I accidently drop it and it breaks. Then I pick it up and throw it down and it pulverizes because it was made from recycled paper. I talk with a young guy who wants to get drunk. I tell him I'll buy a six-pack of some IPA and he can have a shot of some bourbon I bought before. I end up in a cozy house--it's sort of like a quaint old Irish pub. People are playing cards. A vocal group picks my brain for music. I tell them about the various types of folk music I enjoy. Then I tell them my real love is jazz and classical. I start to worry about getting back for a second space shot. I feel for my phone and I figure Joe would call if I'm too late.

I've swallowed some string so I start pulling it out of my mouth. I keep pulling it out until there's a huge wad of it. I finally give up and cut it with some scissors and just swallow it.

I'm at a law firm and the boss tells me he wants me to work on a project. I can't figure out what he wants me to do so I start dusting. Then we drive to the back entrance of a small airport. It's sandy like a beach and he sits down to ponder life. I sit next to him. There are a bunch of people already sitting so I have to squeeze in.

I open up the fridge and pull out a huge cheesecake. I start cutting a massive slice for myself and my younger daughter comes in. I decided maybe I'll eat it later and put it back.

I'm on a date with a heavy-set young black woman. We go to a movie downtown. It's very moving and I'm going to review it Then we go to a small jazz club on Jefferson. They tell me who's playing--it's a bunch of musicians I've never heard of. People are eating some great food including fried chicken. I think it's free. 

I'm with someone who looks like Jamie and she's one stop ahead of me in various restaurants. I keep trying to catch up with her and we keep texting each other. It's super frustrating. 

I think I'm in Theo's bedroom. Water keeps getting spilled on the wooden floor and I grab towels and clothes to wipe it up.

 I'm at a hotel and I spot Wally. He has a big B&W afro. After saying "Hi" he pretty much blows me off. Then I see him go up to a trio of gay guys and he gives one of them a kiss. I guess he's finally out of the closet. I look for Joe and try to find out what room she's in. There isn't a front desk but the receptionist is somewhere in the lobby and she has a phone to deal with guests. I can't locate her. 

I'm in the Cabbage Patch and there are a bunch of hipsters who've taken over the neighborhood. they're doing all kinds of work on the houses.
