Last night I had a dream…
I was walking on the front lawn of the house where I grew up in in Pennsylvania. I was looking at the large maple tree that used to grow in our front lawn when Charles Nelson Reilly, famed Center Square of the Hollywood Squares, began walking around the yard with me giving me landscaping tips that will keep the yard looking good.
Apparently I had been cutting the grass all wrong as a teenager and he was giving me tips on how to do it correctly. I was trying to be nice to Charles, but I thought he was a little weird for caring about a stranger’s lawn like this.
I told Charles I was late for dinner so I could get away from his boring landscape lecture. When I began walking away from him, the river next to our house began flooding across the highway. Now I was walking in water up to my knees and a little disturbed that it could happen so quickly.
As I waded through flood waters I saw Roman Centurians with red-bristled helmets wading through the water to attack me. I had no idea why they were here; nor did I know why they wanted to attack me.
I swore under my breath as I began walking faster through the flood waters away from the Centurians…then I woke up.
