Bizarro Dream

On February 25th, 2022 I texted the following to Amy, having just woken up from a truly odd dream.

Mick Jagger, Ringo Starr, and Keith Richards had commissioned a mansion to be built for them to live in together. The unveiling was a huge thing in the press and the fellas came in on buses - Mick wore a robe like Christ, naturally - and the place was lousy with reporters and fans. So you and I went in to the house to one of the basement rooms to relax on couches. You were there bc Keith had asked you to be his carer for the last years of his life, you being a doctor and all. You declined. I assured you it was the right choice, it would've been fulfilling, no doubt, but can you imagine? Keith passed away and a Ghostbusters era ambulance came around back to take him out via the old coal chute. Bc clearly when building a new manor where money is no object you would want to include a coal chute. Just in the off hand chance that coal heating comes back in fashion. 

Amy's response was a succinct, "Hahaha. That's amazing. And you're right, I would not want to be Keith's caregiver."
