Prompt: There was no class tonight, which came as a pleasant surprise to me. So I led an away mission to the star system Adeline where I found the planet

Jessica's Gift  (13+) In the final analysis, having a dream is often more pleasurable than attaining it. #2217323 by Adeline

The first specimen that came along caught my eye. So the prompt for today is:

"In the final analysis, having a dream is often more pleasurable than attaining it."

What do you think? Do you agree? Why or why not?

I think that Adeline is spot on. We often dream about things and the dreams are much bigger than reality. I remember lots of times of dreaming about something happening and then when it did it turned out to be such a let down. At other times the reality was everything I thought it would be, but usually the dream is much more glamorous than the reality is.

Prompt: "Remember those long summer afternoons sitting outside with Sun In in your hair? Tell about your best (or worst!) hair moments."

I'm a man so I really don't give a rat's tail what my hair looks like as long as it isn't long and stringy. Even when long hair was cool I typically kept mine cut either crew-cut style or high and tight. I did let it grow out once just so it would be long enough to put a perm in. I wanted to see what I would look like with curly. The perm looked okay but what really looked god was when the perm loosened and left my hair wavy. I went to a friends house and had the perm done. He was a Hollywood hairstylist and told me the job he did on my hair would usually cost $5,000.00 but since I was not living in Beverley Hills, he did it for free. I was also going to a family member's funeral and my friend wanted me to look good. I did indeed look good. I had a pair of aviator sunglasses I wore along with a fashion sweater and the works. Nobody in my family recognized me and I didn't say a word about who I was. Finally, I said something to my grandmother because she didn't know me either. I realized that when she started flirting with me! I said "Grandma! What is getting into you?"

She looked at me shocked and embarrassed and said "I didn't even recognize you!

Prompt: "Give us a taste of summer – either through a recipe, or a memory or story that expresses summer to you."

Nothing expresses summer to quite like a fresh tomato sandwich or BLT followed by a slice of cold watermelon and canteloupe. Now that is a summertime meal. Throw in some fresh green beans and corn on the cob and it becomes a summertime feast.
