First, I dreamed my hearing ai?ere in a baking pan full of water. I swished the?ound??>Then I up at 4:50 a.m. and fell back asleep again.

I was with an old deaf c?mate from ma?? ago, and we?e sitting on a m?an&#? tai?e and making??? nice. But I????hew (as yet unborn), and had to feed him this so?hat seem?o co?t of?m milk, ? of which was blocked of? a melted-on?er of pasta (like the cheese on french-onion?p), with?e mi?oure?er it and a bunch of?tle cavatelli pasta ? it like?eal. She and?alked while watching the kid??sly break through the pasta layer with a spoon, and cheered when he finally broke through.

He th?eded to eat his ??t had abandoned the spoon in?or of picking the cavatelli out with? fin?, which was decidedly inefficien?o I pick?p th?oon and began showing him how to use it.?ot;Spoon?ot; I said. "'Pooooon,&?; he said, and began using it. We th?roceeded to ?y on a conve?ion with him?>
A ?t while later, I sto?p and said, "I'm going to head ??estaurant. We're meeting my mom and ??here. Wanna ? up down that wa?uot; She said, &???hich place?&?;

I foun?self walking amo???alk tables and e?ing an Itali?urant near my pa?s?lace called Ercolano's, and somehow was ?ltan??ith her and telling her ?e else I? at ? moment, then di?ed for a while over ?her or not I should get a table for ?yone when they a?ed. The place wa?owded.

She ??p a few ?tes later, a?ad becom? ex-wife, co?o collect the last of her th?. Her hair had grown??spective shifted?side?elf, and I looked back at where I had once been, and it was an o? man?h a bushy beard,?hy hair, wrinkled face and c?, in??een ?. He stared at her f?ically and launched into this fa?tic speech a?? face an?ew, and ? as he intoned, "In ? time among the onions..?ot; I thought of Daniel Day-Lewis, and began questioning whe? or not I was in ?e Will Be Blood. That, at least, woke me up for the day.
