Off to the local jazz club. Or off to the Dollar Tree. Do you need anything?

It's Friday night, time for big excitement in the life of The Horse. I'm going to go to the local French jazz club, listen to a piano trio, eat escargot, drink red wine from Burgundy, and bring home a lovely French girl. We will make love all night, discuss French impressionist painting (I'm especially interested in the correct distance from which one should observe a Monet painting) and the delicacy of Faure's Requiem (I'm listening now) between kisses, and then fall asleep in each others' arms. Sorry, I drifted into a dream. Did I type something? Anyway, I'm heading to the Dollar Tree. I'm going to get some candles, some lotion for my dry left heel, some paper towel, and some toilet paper. Can I get anything there for you?

The package is in the mail. Remember to keep folding until your square is the size of a postage stamp. We don't want to kill trees!

I was really excited for you until I got to the end. What a letdown.

Sometimes dreams and reality don't converge. At least I have toilet paper now.

@porwest I got four rolls for a dollar. Remember that I studied math in college and know that I can fold a single sheet into quarters infinitely. This four-pack should last me several months.

@TheHorse Although toilet paper at the Dollar Tree is terribly expensive. But I guess so long as you have it.

@CarolDM Exactly! It's the little joys that matter. But did I tell you about that one French gal I met on the plane on my way back home from Europe...?

I had to make a fast run there the other day. Our condo did not have a can opener. I had packed one with some of the food we brought since we had a fully stocked kitchen or so they thought..haha. Anyway, the one I brought was broken. I could use a snack though. How about some candy?

@BarBaraPrz I'm sure the Rolling Stones can appreciate my need for toilet paper. Else I'd wind up with "Stinky Fingers." Hey, isn't that the name of a Rolling Stones album?

Darn it. They closed down my favorite jazz club (they really did). My French gal is going to have to wait. But I did get everything I needed at the Dollar Tree.

Heh heh. What if I told you I was a ghost writer for many of those "Historical Romances" that some women like to read? Buwaahaahaa!

Very exciting dream, are you sure you have the energy to go after that?

I think so. I bought some Reece's Cups, which I will share. Before I put one in the mail, I gotta smoke more of whatever it was I was smoking when I lapsed into a dream. I just read what I wrote.

One is allowed to dream, or maybe its real, talk to the French girl, you might learn something
