Dreaming of My Mother
I dreamed about my mom last night. It's been a while since she's visited me in my dreams. Her appearances come in waves -- I'll see her every night for a week or two, then she'll disappear for a month or more. She always seems to show up when I need her the most.

It started with a miniature Mr. Goodbar on Halloween night. I mean, Mr. Goodbar is a nostalgic candy -- it reminds me of my childhood (circa 1983), walking down to 7-11 with my brother Jeff on warm summer nights. How could I resist perfectly roasted peanuts in creamy Hershey's milk chocolate?
