Musical Pipe Dream: I’m in a park with my family and we’re eating food under a tree. This song is playing. I’m standing and doing dance moves that only allow one section of my body to move at a time. It starts with my head and neck, then down to my shoulders and torso, next my hands and my hips, my knees bend in and out, finally my feet shuffle from left to right.

Musical Pipe Dream:  I’m stage right slightly in front of the drummer and next to the guitarist. I’m playing bass. My posture is extremely straight and I’m tapping my foot to the beat with a wide-eyed stare.

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m singing at a wedding with a drummer and a xylophonist. We each have microphones and we all sing at the time for harmony. I’m wearing a skinny suit with ruffles on the shirt and I’m dancing by moving my arms and hips in a shoveling motion.

Blurb 1/365: I fell on the stairs at BART today. It was one of those slow-motion falls forward on the stairs. A little boy asked with genuine concern, “Are you ok?” Aww … (I’m ok.)

Musical Pipe Dream: I’m playing the drums. I’m huddled over the snare drum with a microphone positioned close to my face to sing back up. I hit the crash cymbal with a badass look on my face where my mouth looks like an upside down U.

Musical Pipe Dream: There are four of us lined up and singing back up. The lead singer is slightly in front of us and stage left. We are all wearing powder blue suits with black lapels and skinny black ties. Our dance steps are alternating stepping one foot over the other and snapping. At the end of the song, we all bow our heads with our right toe behind our left heel and our palms facing the audience.
