She’s a happy homemaker from Sunnyvale who plays the oboe. Welcome, Courtney Mortimer!

I crack up nearly every time I hear this. Too funny. I think the ad is for the lottery here in California, but I’ll have to hear it again to verify that.

Sunnyvale isn’t that far away from us. I looked up the woman’s name thinking maybe she was even real. I’m that gullible. No luck finding anyone with the name, though.

Donne mie, la fate a tanti:

Okay … SHORT dream this time, since I can barely remember it:

Jameson (and again he was younger than he is now) had a cobra in some sort of holder hanging from the wall. The holder was more like an envelope, actually. The cobra was rather small, although wider than I would think a small one would be. I freaked out, but then I was told — I think by some scientist although this is all very sketchy — “It doesn’t become dangerous until it starts playing the trombone.”

Right.

Later Jameson had a poisonous spider. It, too, wasn’t yet dangerous, although I don’t recall what it’s danger sign was.

Yes. I have strange dreams.
