As I think about it, dreams are coherent in ways that day is not.

It's funny, but when I think back on the time I spent in 'the Springs' in 2007 I can't remember, at all, how long I spent there. I know it was two distinct trips separated by a few months. I know I was there in the heat of summer and during a monumental ice storm in winter. I remember shopping and taking the kids to school and doing laundry and driving both Paul and Jennifer to doctor appointments. I remember doing my day job sitting on a couch in the walk-out basement. I learned my way all around Colorado Springs. But was my total time there 2 months? 4? 6? I think it was at least 4 months, maybe even 6, but it's all a dream. I haven't talked to Jennifer, Kyle or Jillian in years. It's all in the past, only my dreamlike memories remain.
