Bizarre mostly because it was so absolutely random. So at the risk of being vivisected, here it goes:<\/p>\n<p>I was at some dinner party with random people. After dinner some folks headed off to get the games ready (a barrage of games was to follow) and I headed to the kitchen with another guy (anonymous to me now and then as well &#8211; I think). I start loading the dishwasher with Katie Couric. I&#8217;m loading away (typical stuff &#8211; glasses, empty plastic takeout containers, etc.) when it becomes clear that Katie and the other guy have the whole flirty chemistry thing going on. They are giggling and I apologize saying that I didn&#8217;t know they wanted alone time. She cautioned me that they were at an early stage in their relationship and asked that I not tell anyone. I very seriously responded that I wouldn&#8217;t (though, I remember thinking, I would clearly tell Kim).<\/p>\n<p>Then I head out of the kitchen (clearly a NYC apartment) to an adjacent room just as clearly set in the countryside. There another man &#8211; the English husband of a friend &#8211; is setting up five or six different games ranging from some huge (life-size) board with letters on it to some version of English pool to who knows what. Then Katie&#8217;s boyfriend comes out and says he wants to auction off some real estate and stock.<\/p>\n<p>At the next moment I&#8217;m driving as a passenger in someone&#8217;s car (perhaps one of my neighbors) to pick up a horse to ride. But instead I end up exchanging fresh produce.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck figuring that one out. And no, it does not mean that I am lusting after Katie Couric and have become the lapdog for liberalism as embodied by CBS&#8230; at least I don&#8217;t think so. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I had this bizarre dream last night.
