I Dreamed of Winter

I got my hair cut yesterday. I enjoy getting my hair cut, it relaxes me. In fact, I have been known to fall asleep right in the chair. Yesterday was one of those times. It was the end of a long work day and I found myself sitting there in the barbers chair in that place between consciousness and true sleep.

It was cloudy outside and for some reason I thought it was winter. I began to look forward to walking out of the shop and feeling the cool breeze blow through my freshly cut hair. I was looking forward to a Saturday full of college football and an NFL Sunday afternoon. I couldn't remember where I had put my jacket, but I knew I would need it. I was feeling rejuvenated, I was feeling excited, I was feeling JOYFUL!

Then I woke up.

I felt my body go limp. I slid out of the chair and made my way out into heat. I got into my steaming car and waited for the AC to kick in. I drove home, stuck my head in the freezer and dreamed of winter.
