I dreamed about things burning -- certainly because of the burned-out house I visited yesterday.

Dreamed I was somewhere outside and my desk and chair were in the fire. I pulled the desk out too late; the damage was done. "I'll have to start over" I said, and I looked at the ruined chair and was glad I'd only paid $5.

The trouble with starting over, of course, is in knowing where to start.

This morning I think I'll start with more coffee.
