ALICE ROOSEVELT WAS HARDCORE. “She was known as a rule-breaker in an era when women were under great pressure to conform. The American public noticed many of her exploits. She smoked cigarettes in public, swore at officials, rode in cars with men, stayed out late partying, kept a pet snake named Emily Spinach (Emily as in her spinster aunt and Spinach for its green color) in the White House, and was seen placing bets with a bookie.

So what I’m reading here is, she was a Roosevelt?

Well I have a new hero.

[khoshekh-yourself-deactivated20]

Her whole wikipedia article is gold

“When her father was governor of New York, he and his wife proposed that Alice attend a conservative school for girls in New York City. Pulling out all the stops, Alice wrote, ‘If you send me I will humiliate you. I will do something that will shame you. I tell you I will.’”

“Her father took office in 1901 following the assassination of President William McKinley, Jr. in Buffalo (an event that she greeted with “sheer rapture.”)“

“During the cruise to Japan, Alice jumped into the ship’s pool fully clothed, and coaxed a congressman to join her in the water. (Years later Bobby Kennedy would chide her about the incident, saying it was outrageous for the time, to which the by-then-octogenarian Alice replied that it would only have been outrageous had she removed her clothes.”

“She was dressed in a blue wedding dress and dramatically cut the wedding cake with a sword (borrowed from a military aide attending the reception)”

“When it came time for the Roosevelt family to move out of the White House, Alice buried a Voodoo doll of the new First Lady, Nellie Taft, in the front yard.”

“Later, the Taft White House banned her from her former residence—the first but not the last administration to do so. During Woodrow Wilson’s administration (from which she was banned in 1916 for a bawdy joke at Wilson’s expense)…”

“As an example of her attitudes on race, in 1965 her African-American chauffeur and one of her best friends, Turner, was driving Alice to an appointment. During the trip, he pulled out in front of a taxi, and the driver got out and demanded to know of him, “What do you think you’re doing, you black bastard?” Turner took the insult calmly, but Alice did not and told the taxi driver, “He’s taking me to my destination, you white son of a bitch!”

“To Senator Joseph McCarthy, who had jokingly remarked at a party “Here’s my blind date. I am going to call you Alice”, she sarcastically said “Senator McCarthy, you are not going to call me Alice. The trashman and the policeman on my block call me Alice, but you may not.”

This is Alice as an older lady. The pillow says “If you can’t say something good about someone, sit right here by me.” 

She is my absolute favorite.

Awake

It’s morning, I can tell by the subtle blue hitting my eyelids. I don’t want to open them out of fear, fear that comes from unpreparedness to meet the day. Listening, I hear snoring. It is my own. I’m awake but asleep again. Somehow I roll over to stop the snoring, just so I don’t wake my wife. A few seconds pass and I hear the snoring again. The process is repeated several times, with the same result. Eventually I succumb to the noise and slip into my dreams. The laughter and conversation are strong. The colors and smells vivid. I can sense the real world outside. I don’t want to leave. It’s nice here, no awkward situations, and I can walk up walls. No expectations. It’s over before it began and I’m now ready to face reality, sigh.

Insanity

So I was awake for about two hours before my wife. I laid in bed the entire time trying to rest. I heard her alarm several times as she kept hitting the snooze button. Finally she swung her legs off the edge and sat there. After a minute she got up and left the room. I told her later that I had been awake for several hours before her and she stared at me with an odd look. She then told me that I was snoring loudly the entire time. I told her how many times she hit her snooze and that she sat up for a minute before leaving the room. She agreed that's what happened, but I was very asleep at the time. Apparently I am either going insane, or I'm very lucid in my sleep......with my eyes open. What can I do with this superpower?

Thrift Shopping for Graduation

-I have dreams every night and these are some of them. I’m not a professional writer, but I try to make it interesting. Visit my website for all the dreams I’ve written.

Howard and Valerie were walking around their neighborhood and it was nighttime.  They came up to a thrift shop, and went in.  Inside were shelves and display cases full of trinkets and a million random things that were either forgotten or discarded.  The two left and walked over to the high school.  They were in an empty room getting hot and heavy and something stopped them, so they moved to another room and were both almost naked when someone came in, so they got dressed and went to yet another room, this time it was the womens restroom.  Renata and Rosa were there.  They said the only place Howard and Valerie could have fun was the bathroom stall.  Howard went in and the floors and toilet seat were covered in crap.  He set about cleaning it up while the three women talked.  Howard got it all picked up and asked Valerie to come in.  Afterwards, Howard was talking to Chad on the phone, he had invited Howard to do something.  Howard said he couldn’t because he was going to an elite graduation party for some kid from the local military academy.  Later Howard was walking around this house that had college coaches and graduates.  The house was filling up fast.  There must have been over a thousand people in this house.  There was a small auditorium next to the dining hall in the house, and all the seats were full, people were giving speeches, and then all the graduates in the auditorium ran through an exercise where they were trying to maintain order and discipline.  Howard was very proud of being alumni for the academy.  The former football head coach was there even though he hadn’t been coach in a lot of years.  Later, Howard was standing in the kitchen and Valerie was talking to him about something, so he went to the calendar on the fridge and saw that he worked one of the two days she wanted him to get off work early.  She was not happy he had to work.

Fishing

Howard went fishing.  It was what he did to unwind after months of being cooped up in the house during the winter.  While sitting on the shoreline watching his fishing pole sit absolutely still, he looked up at the clouds rolling over the horizon.  Howard thought they looked ominous.  Then several of his friends came from a car parked in the parking lot behind him.  These friends were from his past and he forgot his fishing pole as he caught up with the other men.

No Known Cause

Chad and Renata had gone to their cabin for a few weeks that summer.  It was tucked away off a little used dirt trail many miles away from the two-lane highway.  The cabin was nestled at the base of a steep mountain face.  It sat perched above the trees several hundred yards down the hill.  They could see over the entire valley.  There were no other trees very close, which was why the couple was perplexed when they arrived back to the domicile after an afternoon of fishing.  The Cabin was on fire.  After watching the cabin burn completely to the ground before the volunteer fire department could arrive, the couple gathered they few things that survived and drove to the nearest motel.  Chad walked in and found a very tall man of middle eastern descent standing behind the counter resting his body weight on his shoulder and his hands planted firmly on the counter.  Immovable like a great statue, he stared at Chad as he walked the twenty feet from the entry to the counter.  As soon as Chad asked for a room, the large man smiled and talked to his customer like they were old friends.

Learning About Groceries

-I have dreams every night and these are some of them. I’m not a professional writer, but I try to make it interesting. Visit my website for all the dreams I’ve written.

Chad lived in a quiet suburb and had to go to the local grocery store.  He rode a 3 wheeled bicycle and took the back roads down to the store..  It was nighttime and there was a fair amount of cars out on the road.  He got into the turn lane to turn left on to the main road and had to wait for the light.  When the light turned green to turn, Chad started to go but the lanes on main street were blocked by a gate arm.  He was low enough on the trike to barely make it.  The speed on the trike was good enough to do the speed limit, which is 45.  he turned left behind the old grocery store, it was the old grocery store that was converted into a church.  He pulled into the back parking lot and was about to hide the trike when a transient came along and wanted to steal the trike.  They got into a fight and Chad swung his trike and hit the transient in the head and knocked him out.  He then rode around to the front of the store and found a spot to put the trike.  Chad went in and was wandering around looking for things.  He was really looking for was raspberries, and searched the whole store and finally found where they were supposed to be.  There was lots of people there also looking for raspberries, and a store clerk in one of the aisles handing out samples of raspberries and grapes.  Although when Chad got to her, he only saw grapes.  He then looked high and low for raspberries with no luck.   All he found was strawberries in various states of growth and packaging.  There were strawberry plant and seeds also.

Howard was at a military conference/learning center. He was there for something specific, but it was so specific that it was overly technical. Wandering the halls he was looking around at all the pictures and signs and looking in all the open rooms. Some had people or soldiers in lectures or labs. Outside one of the larger conference halls was a golf course and there were several people lining up to tee off. Howard had gotten the sudden urge to join the army, so he set off to search for the recruiter. Walking around the entire building, he only found recruiters for the other services. He finally just gave up and sat down in a chair.

Life

-I have dreams every night and these are some of them. I’m not a professional writer, but I try to make it interesting. Visit my website for all the dreams I’ve written.

Howard had lived a long life.  He spent his time working as a counter installer.  The places he’d been was unparalleled in his mind.  The beautiful buildings he helped finish made him proud, mostly because he never had a client that was unhappy, but secretly because he left a piece of himself in every location.  But now was the time of his life when he took it easy.  Howard had hired a younger man to run his business for him.  Now the proprietor could take his bride of all these years on vacation.  Not to some lonely cabin in the woods, but to beautiful tropical paradises.  While on vacation, the couple did the things tourists do, and not one moment did they regret it.

Late Night Run

Chad was at a grocery store getting somethings.  He went to check out and the cashier told him that he needed to go to another lane because the scanner at her register didn’t read some of the items.  As Chad went to another lane to scan the items, there were other people at the first register looking around with confused looks because there was only one cashier and three lanes.  The cashier was talking to him still, from two lanes away as she was scanning the items.  Finally she comes over to the lane Chad is standing in and he pays and leaves, with Howard at his side. They went out to the car and start arranging things in the utility tray in the trunk.  It looks like a white lincoln town car.  The reason they put things in the utility tray is because they were going to cover it all up with a tarp.  Chad unfolded and refolded the tarp to fit over the stuff that he bought and felt like he have to do it in case a guy searched the car, the random guy wouldn’t look under the tarp.  Chad and Howard went to a mall to wander around.  All the stores are closed for renovations and on top of all that it’s late at night so none would be open.  Howard had gone to look for a suit at one of the department stores.  Finally one of them let him in.  Howard had people with him who he thought were safe and/or friendly.  They went to a liquor store to get some beer, so Chad went to the back counter where the guy was and walked past a marijuana display and took a deep breath.  The guy at the counter was watching TV mounted high on the wall behind the customers.  Chad asked him if the beer was up front, and the man said yes.  Chad went to an obscure door into a coded room that had cooler doors with beer.  There was also dining tables in this little room.  Some guys came in and said in order to get the things they wanted they had to open a cigar container that looked like a gift box in cellophane.  These guys were somewhat bad and didn’t care Chad was there.  They opened the gift box and under the cigars was a dossier with pictures of the person who had items to be retrieved.  Chad went with the guys on their private airplane and followed clues to where this guy was.  At first Howard and Chad followed a sailboat in the sea, but that turned out to be another clue, then they found a house boat cruising in the ocean.  This was the guys house.  Also his family was with him.  Chad was swimming with the guys wife and children and nanny when one of the bad guys stepped on the boat and got everyones attention.  Everyone got out of the water and we were all taken to a dock where all the boat owners possessions were lined on the dock.  The bad guys had kidnapped the owner and took off in the plane, leaving Chad and Howard with his family.  Later the two friends had gotten in to the white town car in the parking lot of the grocery store, one of the bad guys was in the car with a gun, telling Chad to give them the stuff that he had bought from the store.  It was night and Chad was afraid they would shoot him or Howard.

Cars and Trucks and Hotels

-I have dreams every night and these are some of them.  I’m not a professional writer, but I try to make it interesting.  Visit my website for all the dreams I’ve written.

Chad was selling his Jeep, and and he lived in an empty house.  An older guy showed up in an almost identical jeep as Chad’s wanting to look at his.  He asked how much Chad would come down.  Renata said 4700, and the guy laughed and said he wouldn’t do it.  He started to leave then turned around and gave a story about wanting to do a VW Beetle and he had a mountain bike and how he would just buy a rebuilt bug.  Chad told him that it doesn’t count if he buys the VW, he would have to build it himself.  Valerie was there and she said Chad had one in the garage.  They all went out and opened the garage and the VW was there in some sort of state of rebuild.  They all went back in the house because the guy wasn’t going to buy the jeep.  A few minutes later the guy was bringing his mountain bike up to the house.  Chad was going to go out and tell him that he wasn’t going to trade and found out that Howard was going to test ride it with a Darth Vader costume on.  He looked funny with the cape under his arm.  As Howard was riding back, Chad and a few other people saw a lady dressed as Ventress from the Star Wars cartoons, and they shouted at her some well known line from one of the original movies.

Chad was walking along a street when it started pouring rain.  He ducked into a building that happened to be his insurance agents.  The building was like a mechanics shop with a pull through bay and large garage doors on either end.  The agent had a desk right in the middle of the bay, and he was happy to see Chad.  Chad told him to arrange for a ride home for him, and the agent said no problem.  A minute later Chad saw a large truck pulling up into the bay.  It was a friend of the agent.  He had just gotten this old crew cab truck with dually’s.  Another guy in the shop appeared and they all stood around while the owner of the truck talked about the features.  Suddenly he realized he needed to get home to his kid, and everyone took off.

Renata and Chad were at a hotel and were bored so they went and caught a ride with their friends who were on their way to another hotel.  They all hung out at their hotel room, which looked like a fancier version of the one Chad and Renata just left.  Later, Renata and Chad went up to a cave while it was snowing, like a blizzard.  Up in the cave were animals they’d kept.  One was a very large dog in a cage.  It was warm in this cave because of a fire they had lit, and it wasn’t dark, also because of the fire.

Boring Night

Chad had been hired to entertain a famous person, though this famous person was on some little known cable channel so no one really knew who the woman was.  While she took a shower, Chad searched the rented apartment to try and find something to do.  All he could find was an E.T. soundtrack on vinyl and a bottle of brut cologne.  When she got out of the shower and dressed, Chad and the woman talked all night about the cologne and listened to the album over and over.

Gossip at Disneyland

Chad, Howard, Valerie and Renata went to Disneyland in California.  The four of them were waiting in line and Chad got frustrated so he told Renata that he was just going to wander around.  At first he was in the Disney Royal Library.  It had all these hardcover books that looked old and/or magical.  There were lots of people there.  Then he went out and came upon this landing pad of sorts, it had approach lights, lit up in sequence, like a runway.  They were extended from a stone wall.  This was all indoors.  There was a massive window next to the wall, so people could see what was coming in.  The next thing Chad knows, Disney characters were appearing on the landing pad/strip.  Mickey showed up and greeted him.  After the arrivals, several of the other tourists and Chad were gathered to talk and laugh about what we’d just seen.

Chad was at work and Howard had been talking all day.  At one point he started to ask Chad a question and Rosa about had it, she yelled at him that he’d been talking all morning and he should probably get some work done.  Later everyone in the office were all talking about the fires around town.  Chad wondered why none of them had been sent down there and Devon said some reason that was unintelligible.  Chad then looked outside toward one of the fires, and saw this massive column of smoke off in the distance.  Later, Chad, Howard, Devon, Renata and Valerie were at a house that was Chad’s, it had a bunch of pine trees in the front.  The group were leaving to go to taco bell.  Chad was waiting outside with Valerie, talking about the moss on the tree stumps and remarked how the moss was growing on the south side.  The other 3 were coming out of the house saying they had to put all the food items in a locked room because the dog could get out of it’s cage and onto the tables  Chad said ok, they locked the front door and he closed the garage door.  They all piled into a 5 person car, Howard took one of the back window seats, so Chad had to walk around the car and get in the other side to sit in the middle of the back seat.  Valerie was driving, and Devon was in the front passenger seat.

Lonely Cops on a Jog

-I have dreams every night and these are some of them.  I’m not a professional writer, but I try to make it interesting.  Visit my website for all the dreams I’ve written.

Renata, Valerie, Howard and Chad were driving on main street towards their homes.  Howard went into the turn lane to their street and there was a cop talking to the car in front of them, then let that car go.  The four pulled up and the cop informed Howard that he would have to follow him and the other three would have to walk the rest of the way home.  Howard was very displeased with the situation, but complied.  He followed him to the closed grocery warehouse.  Devon was also behind Howard because this cop wanted him also.  When they left the intersection, another cop pulled up to pull aside another driver.  The three went inside the food warehouse.  There were hundreds of cops escorting civilians.  They were all lined up in several lines for a buffet.  The three newcomers didn’t say a word the entire time while waiting in line.  When it was their turn to get food, Howard looked at everything, and almost every station had shrimp and lobster dishes and fish.  The very last station was steak and potatoes.  Howard asked for a small piece of steak and mashed potatoes with a little gravy over both.  He took his plate to the table where Devon and the cop sat.  The cop looked at Howard funny and he told the cop he was allergic to fish and shellfish.  The three all had a conversation from then on.  Both Howard and Devon felt like this was either a set up or a recruiting lunch, but the two relaxed and just went about talking through the conversation.  After a short time, Howard came to the realization that these cops were just trying to make friends.

Chad was in an unfamiliar neighborhood, and went for a jog.  It had rained but long enough before that the sidewalks were dry, mostly.  He got to work and there was some left over pastas from a vendor lunch that was offered to those who didn’t attend.  Rosa and Chad Went to get some food and sat at the table in the break room.  Chad was halfway through his plate when he needed to go to the bathroom.  Chad got up and wandered the hall and noticed that there were break room tables set in cubby’s in the main hall, he went back and went into the bathroom.  Later, the next day, Chad was wandering around talking on the phone.  He walked into the break room he was eating in and noticed two unfinished plates of pasta, and realized that one of them was his.  The other was Rosa’s.  Chad immediately thought other people thought he was disgusting for leaving his half eaten plate of pasta, so he threw it away.

Pranking a Wedding then Playing Volleyball

-I have dreams every night and these are some of them.  I’m not a professional writer, but I try to make it interesting.  Visit my website for all the dreams I’ve written.

Chad was standing around in a backyard waiting for a wedding to start.  It was Howard and Valeries wedding.  There was a layer of snow on the grass and it was overcast, but with jackets on, it was comfortable out.  Chad was waiting with a can of special worms, that he was throwing over the fence.  Alternating between the neighbor houses on both sides.  Some of the kids wanted to help, but he refused.  Once the prankster was done he joined the wedding and apparently they were waiting for him to start because Valerie gave me a dirty look.  The preacher started and halfway through he paused and left for an unknown reason.  While the people were waiting, Rosa asked Chad how the stuff on my teeth was doing.  He said great, it’s been 2 weeks since he put it in.  Rosa turned to Renata and told her she needed to get the “Gum” for her teeth, Chad spoke up and said that it was a dental compound, not gum.  Later after the wedding, Renata and Chad met with several friends at the reception.  Which felt like a wooden barn with stairs on the left, immediately on the inside of the door.  Chad and Howard were horsing around.  After the reception, Chad was driving to some apartment through a dark neighborhood at night.  The streets were wet but it wasn’t raining.  He stopped to look at an apartment building that had a man made beach next to it.  The beach was very large and people were out sunbathing and playing.  Chad joined a volleyball game in progress on the beach.  On one side was a family of about  six that refused any more players.  The side Chad joined had about ten and was losing every volley.  After every serve, a person or two would join making it harder to even control the ball when it was on their side.  Chad mentioned this to the leader of the expanding group and he agreed, but said that they were there for fun and couldn’t do anything about the other team.
