Possibilities

What would we have been?

Consider education. I look at lawyers and am smarter than most. Doctors, that’s a different field. Mathematicians, don’t even go there as my calculator broke at plus and minus. All right I can multiply and divide but no calculus.

PR people like Lanny Davis interviewed on Slate today? He’s a smart man. Could I do what he has achieved? He knows everyone and interviews everyone which means something in these days. I’d love to go back to the days before Enron and subprimes, to Clintonian era, essentially. But those days are gone and we’ve all suffered.

Look back on your younger days and see what you envisioned back then. I loved my legislative work but always wanted to cook and teach. But what if I went to law school back then when I was writing laws my legal counsel didn’t even care to understand?

All he said to me was “You’re an attractive woman, I’m a man. We both have needs.” After I nearly peed my pants from laughing that was about it for our professional relationship. He was a lawyer. There’s more to the story. This one went high up, politically.

Dreams. If I had kids and not just a dog I’d instill dreams in my kids, I try to do that now through family and friends. Mostly by giving specialty books and trying to be there.

My dreams are sleeping side by side in the bedroom, husband and dog, snoring. It makes me feel like a good wife to write and just listen to them. Perhaps that’s my dream, after all.
