   Re: 2019/10/22 Tuesday (Conversation with Charles)   
      
   The moment I hit "SEND" I remembered a dream I'd forgotten to post:   
      
   This is an auditory ONLY dream, no images!  I was in a pleasant discussion   
   with my son, Charles, but judging from the pitch of his voice, it was before   
   it changed in his early teens.  As Charles refuses to communicate with me in   
   real life, I was    
   pleasantly surprised to be chatting with him, and tried to figure out his   
   age.  Being in a dream didn't help, but suffering from brain damage in real   
   life especially decreases my math skills, such that after I awoke I found   
   myself STILL having to re-   
   calculate his age.  He was born in 1992, so in the dream, I MISSED a decade   
   during the calculations, and asked:  "So you're 18 these days, right?"  He   
   answered, "Yeah, 18, right."  That was the last I heard from his end in the   
   dream.  I found myself    
   talking to myself alone, wondering why he'd gone so silent lately?  Then I   
   awoke, and realized I'd totally fouled up his age calculation:  since this is   
   Oct 2019 and he was born in Jan 1992, his age (IRL) is 19+8=27.
