I was jealous like nobody's business.<BR/>I was transported. Thanks for the ride.<BR/>With that, I highly recommend a similar cinematic dispatch to fantasy with at least one eye open: "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." It's a work of art.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692284050637212115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-68941834247855994022008-01-09T20:25:00.000-05:002008-01-09T20:25:00.000-05:00i'm so excited to have featured in someone else's ...i'm so excited to have featured in someone else's dream!<BR/><BR/>whatever you're taking, man, i want some!<BR/>:)jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105083650427355181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-23664365466411175282008-01-09T11:18:00.000-05:002008-01-09T11:18:00.000-05:00Oh man - you got me!

I have never been inside it. The dream actually occurred yesterday morning, and it was a nice workout while it lasted, so smooth and easy. But it was all a dream. I seriously doubt that anyone other than Trojan football players ever train inside of there, and the track the track very well might be removed. <BR/><BR/>I was trying a literary exercise, to draw the reader into a willing suspension of disbelief, disrupted at the end by the abrupt restoration of reality. I had to get inside the Coliseum somehow, I couldn't just suddenly be in California running laps, so I treated it like the Washington and Lee High School Track which the DC Roadrunners use once a week. I see instead of a "surprise" story I created a head-scratching situation. Back to the literary drawing board. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment. People should go to your place to see all the interesting spots you have been to by bike, plane, helicoptor and aircraft carrier--the islands in the Pacific, the big navy base on the east coast, football in Philly, skiing in North America, travelling on the west coast and in New England, phew.peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284634727671648704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331213685542630258.post-43464025879346775282008-01-08T23:34:00.000-05:002008-01-08T23:34:00.000-05:00So now I'm confused - do they actually open the tr...So now I'm confused - do they actually open the track up on Tuesday mornings? Or was that part of the dream too? Cause I thought the track was gone.Rainmakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371545851492880386noreply@blogger.com
