10. Did you dream last night?
Yes, I dreamed that I had flown to NYC without any advance planning (i.e. no hotel reservations) and was driving around Manhattan in a giant Towncar that didn’t have a brake pedal and changed from manual to automatic transmission at will - all the while trying to remember the name of the B&B in the East Village that I wanted to call to see if I could get a room. I still can’t remember the name of the B&B.

Hmm. While watching TV last night? During Will & Grace reruns maybe? It was the Macaulay Culkin episode.
