Back at 4:15

Rick Veach, our plumbing and heating and cooling guy, came by early in the morning to check out a minor problem. He promised to be back at 4:15 to take care of it.

At 4:15 he was back. And before doing the work he had come to do, he went to our hall closet to replace a lightbulb. He had somehow noticed when he was here in the morning that the bulb was out.

I read the post too quickly, and not to the end — obviously. Damn, that's too young. But that you had a dream about him is so touching. He meant something to you.

To a lot of people — you should have seen the number of “customers” at his funeral.

I never mean to mislead with these dream posts. I just think it’s better to recount them in a matter-of-fact way, and then signal the dream at the end of the post. Sometimes the strangeness is clear from the get-go; other times it doesn’t kick in until much later.
