LOST IN JAPAN - BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES

Monday, 25 October 2010 Last night I had dream after dream of being lost and having trouble finding my way back. In the last dream Judy and Niki and I were in Japan and I kept stooping down to pick up nickels and dimes and quarters and standing back up to discover Judy and Nike were ahead somewhere l0st in the crowd except every once in a while I would see Niki's head turned trying to find me. I guess she was torn between trying to keep up with Judy and not loosing me. I woke up singing a song my parents used to often sing: "Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes I'll never love blue eyes again."

SATURDAY SPORTS REPORT

Saturday, October 09, 2010 Greg and Niki came to Jayden's game today and Greg and I were talking about Alexa's soccer game this morning. Greg said that for the first half Alexa was pretty focused. At one point she asked Greg if it was OK to fight. Greg said "sure". At that Alexa grabbed one of her own teammates and threw her to the ground. I guess not to be unexpected from a four year old. Jayden’s football team won 12 – 7. He took a couple of hits that hurt. One of them was a hit under his chin. He got a bit of a whiplash and the back of his neck was still hurting after the game.
