42 Dreams of Arizona Bay

Searching for the question to the answer of 42.

Hello

I’m not going to have a lot of time in the next couple of weeks to do much with this. So this will just have to hold my place.
If you’re curious, 42 dreams in Arizona Bay refers to my love for Douglas Adams and the place I’m going.
In the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the number arrived at by the computer Deep Thought, as the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything. But nobody knows the question, and in fact, it is thought that the question and answer cannot exist in the same universe. Lovely and absurd, which is kind of what I think about life.
I also love dreams, and journaled my dreams for a while. Maybe this is a place to do that again. I don’t know.
And Arizona Bay refers to both a Bill Hicks album and lyrics to a song by Tool (Aenema), which pays homage to Hicks’ rant about LA. I’m not going to LA, but to California, so if that three-ring circus sideshow really does fall into the ocean, brought on by earthquakes, meteor showers and tidal waves, I’ll have to learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay.

    “in” Arizona Bay? That a uplifting way to begin your blog!

    Work with me. Probably should’ve left the name unexplained and obscure. Might obscure it a bit. But I like it!

    OK, if I hafta. . . . :)

    Check out my blog in the next hour. I’m going to upload a picture of Elliot, well, as soon as he gives me a second to do so.

    You know, there are at least a few of us interested in dreams. Could be a blogging possibility (depending on the dream and how brave we feel). In fact, maybe I’ll blog about last night’s dreams this morning.

    Maybe a separate blog for dreams. Since we have two blog options. Maybe that’ll be blog b for me. I’ll see. Sounds like a good idea. :) Stuck here at work.

    Hi Melissa! Congratulations on the big changes in your life, even though they have both ups and downs. Where in CA are you moving? I’m one of those folks Dawn mentioned interested in dreams…
