"And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be? ... You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream! If that there King was to wake you'd go out -- bang! -- just like a candle!"

"Hush! You'll be waking him, I'm afraid, if you make so much noise."

"Well it's no use your talking about waking him when you're only one of the things in his dream. You know very well you're not real."

postcard: Chicago to Galesburg

Bones, fish, and whales, all we managed yesterday, but for two of us with a possible future in archeology and paleontology Sue was so worth it. He knows all the periods and the dinosaurs in the periods (was disappointed by Jurassic Park because most of those animals lived in the Cretaceous Period he informed his parents), and whether they were herbivores, carnivores, or scavenger omnivores (possibly the case with t-rex, he wants us to know). Many eels and turtles, some sharks, dolphins soaring and diving air-to-depths which we watched from underwater. The highlight of my day, well, I wish you could've seen it. I wish I could see it again.

Glenda and I went out early for coffee and film yesterday before everyone woke up. She wanted to see Monday morning Chicago, the people in the streets, the Starbucks crowd.
