   2019/10/24 Thursday (catchup & other stuff— I'M STILL SINGLE!!!)   
      
   A few nights back, within the past week I'd say, I had a dream that I   
   deliberately did NOT post, because in the dream I saw my ex-wife (neé Mary   
   Beth Stone) and ex-domestic partner, Joyce Ann Thomson.  The odd part of this   
   was they both appeared    
   approximately the same age, *maybe* 20, full of LIGHT, such that they both   
   looked *beautiful* in the sense of wholesome, desirable, righteous even.    
   While I respected their appearance in this "vision," clarity 9 for sure, I was   
   disturbed that I was    
   seeing them rather than spending that moment looking for Gina.   
      
   So why am I bringing this up now?  YESTERDAY, I was cleaning out /   
   straightening up / organizing the garage, which is stuffed with a load of JUNK   
   from my past, although lots of it still "sparks joy" (nostalgia) such that I'd   
   rather file most of it than    
   trash it.  ONE of the things I found were copies of my past two marriage   
   certificates, on file at the County records office.  One was my certificate   
   for Beth, and the other for my 2nd marriage, to Helen Bigelow Heath, mother of   
   my first son, Charles.  (   
   Joyce bore 3 children, Logan, Landon, and Alyssa, all out of wedlock, although   
   all of them have my paternal status on their birth certificates, and HAD my   
   last name at some point, although Logan, Landon and Alyssa were adopted by a   
   family named GOINS so    
   I don't know their current status.)   
      
   Now what, you may ask, does this have to do with the two documents I found   
   (IRL!) in the garage?  Well, Beth wanted an annulment so she could convert to   
   Catholicism and join a convent, so I wrote a letter to the Pope and had it   
   conveyed starting out with    
   Cardinal Niedergeses in Atlanta, although that may have been a status error on   
   my part, as a BISHOP Niedergeses led a diocese in Nashville.  The letter was a   
   positive recommendation on my part on Beth's behalf, that the annulment be   
   granted because she    
   wanted to become a nun.  A month or so later, I received a letter that the   
   marriage had been officially annulled in the eyes of the Church.  So going   
   into my marriage to Helen, Helen was therefore my "first" marriage, EXCEPT I   
   was looking carefully at    
   the marriage certificate with Helen, looking for the *signature* of the (late)   
   Reverend David Brabender, only to find he had NOT SIGNED the certificate!!!    
   So, like, WOW!  I'VE NEVER BEEN MARRIED!  I'M STILL SINGLE!!! :-)   
      
   Anyways, if I get around to posting any of my dreams from last night / this   
   morning, they'll be in another post.
