I was thinking about the character Daniels from ST:E. At first, it reminded me of the restaraunt of the same name in the Bellevue building we used to work in. I remember one day in 1999, a few of us from work were up there having dinner or something. One of my coworkers asked me what I liked to do in my spare time. I responded that I liked to drive around in my car and solve crimes.

I remember that was around the time when Suzanne called me and wanted to know if I wanted to attend a Presentation Skills class at a Microsoft training facility. I remember that Wally Simpson, Technical Account Manager co-worker with the Music degree, was complaining because he had been higher on the waiting list than I was. I didn't overhear him saying that until after the class though so I went over there and I remember the instructor gave me a very good score, if not a perfect score, for the class.

That was all around the time Suzanne had asked me to pick up some CD-R's for her in Portland, Oregon, when I was down there on a business trip. The CD-R reminds me of the CDR abbreviation for U.S. Navy Commander. This was the same woman who was telling me something about how it was all right to have an affair with a married woman.

When I was sitting there in that bar in our office in historic Bellevue, Washington, in 1999, I told her I drove around in my blue Mazda RX-7 and solved crimes. Suzanne Morgan then looked across the table at Thomas Dawkins and asked him "What did he say?" and Thomas repeated what I had said. Later that evening, from my apartment at Oakwood, I wrote an email to Suzanne and commented that all the cigarette smoke in that bar had caused my face to turn red.

1980 film "The Final Countdown" DVD video:


US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Dan, what's this all about? What do you make of it?

US Navy Commander Dan Thurman - USS Nimitz CVN 68 executive officer: Nostalgia broadcasting on the Armed Forces band.

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Broadcasting after a strike? Nah.

Warren Lasky - United States Department of Defense civilian contractor employee: Excuse me. Captain?

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Yes?

Warren Lasky - United States Department of Defense civilian contractor employee: Sir, is it possible that this could be part of some secret naval maneuver?

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Course not.

US Navy Commander Dan Thurman - USS Nimitz CVN 68 executive officer: There are a few people who'd like to watch us work under pressure.

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: What are you saying, Dan?

US Navy Commander Dan Thurman - USS Nimitz CVN 68 executive officer: The Department of Defense sent him out here. Maybe they wanted to give him something to watch.

US Navy Captain Matthew Yelland - USS Nimitz CVN 68 commanding officer: Now, that makes more sense than anything else so far.

I had that dream again about the house I bought in South Carolina back in the early '90s. I loved that place, it was quiet and relaxing. That house is always the central element in dreams I have sometime. There are usually variations to the situation, but the house is always there. And there is usually another element to the dream. In the dream, I discover that I still own the house and I can go back there any time I want, even at the very moment I realize it is still there. It is a great feeling to know I can sleep there that very night if I want to.

The other dream I had was about fighting some kind of aliens. I'm not sure if this dream happened before the one I wrote about above or if it happened later. In this dream, I am still in the Navy, but I am wearing some kind of camoflauge uniform, maybe army or marines. These aliens have invaded a subway and there are a lot of travelers around in danger. I am about to drop from exhaustion after 36 hours of fighting, we have been retreating and I am separated from the other soldiers. I am carrying two heavy packs, trying to find another unit to group up with, with passengers stream through the facility, they are even getting on the trains as some of them are still coming through. I have lost my rifle somewhere. I still have plenty of ammo, but I can't find a rifle. A woman at a coffee kisok says something to me that I don't remember, she has dried blood on her hands as she is preparing coffee. Then I am outside and I have found an armory where I get another rifle. I start heading back to the subway.

THE ROLLING STONES


"You Can't Always Get What You Want"

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you might find
You get what you need
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
