<p>This struck me so funny, as it's so true from the eyes of children like us.... where we lived was where anyone who mattered lived! :) Loved the story.</p>
<p>Wonder where Dad & I were????!!! Hmmmmm....<br />

<p>Wow. Genesee Cream Ale!</p>
<p>Say, when you were a child, did you know anybody named Meltzer? Maybe your parents did?</p>
<p>How about a philosophy prof named Charleson?</p>Alissa commented on 'I gotta get that closet cleaned out one of these days'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a5775f99970c2009-08-26T16:32:46Z2009-08-26T16:32:46ZAlissahttp://altmanaliyah.blogspot.comYeah, yeah, dream, memories, coolness...whatever.

I somehow missed that if you've ever mentioned it before. I went to uni there. Loved the village, hated the uni. Couldn't believe that even in the '80s there were street fights between "the townies" and the college kids.</p>
<p>No seriously - dreams are fascinating. I have extremely vivid, detailed, colourful dreams that make no sense at all. But I've never had a dream that was a real memory. I'd love to be a fly on the wall - or watch the YouTube videos. Whatever. - during your sessions, if ever do scrape up the dough for that therapy!</p>Mark commented on 'I gotta get that closet cleaned out one of these days'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a574f5c8970c2009-08-26T01:51:40Z2009-08-26T01:51:40ZMarkThe mind is an amazing and wonderful thing.

<p>My grandfather a"h, one of the gentlest men to have ever lived, loved to watch "the fights", both wrestling and boxing.<br />

I can't recall having a dream as vivid and true to life as that one, but often in my dreams I'm years younger and with people I haven't seen in a very long time. I remember one time though where I got a shock to the head (long story) and while I was sitting there recovering, I had a rush of memories of me & my brother playing together when we were little... which makes me think I should probably get that closet cleaned out too!</p>Miss Worldwide commented on 'I gotta get that closet cleaned out one of these days'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a573e2b4970c2009-08-25T20:51:40Z2009-08-25T20:51:40ZMiss Worldwide http://missworldwide.blogspot.comI love this story!<p>I love this story!</p>ED commented on 'I gotta get that closet cleaned out one of these days'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a572c592970c2009-08-25T16:05:14Z2009-08-25T16:05:14ZEDThere is even a connection between Patterson and Sweden(of blood libel fame).

Just reading about it opened my closet door to a dozen memories.</p>
<p>Wonder if I'll dream about any of them. :)</p>Barzilai commented on 'I gotta get that closet cleaned out one of these days'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a5726460970c2009-08-25T14:22:29Z2009-08-25T14:22:29ZBarzilaiHow fascinating.

I used to come up to the area around New Paltz every summer with the Yeshiva of Staten Island, and I thought the only interesting thing there was what I think was a rattlesnake I almost stepped on while hiking near the Shawangunk and the brickwork on some of the old houses.</p>Mimi commented on 'I gotta get that closet cleaned out one of these days'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a51b8937970b2009-08-25T14:10:10Z2009-08-25T14:10:10ZMimihttp://www.mimi54.wordpress.comI believe that happens in middle age.

I've experienced similar dreams that drag some of my earliest memories up to the surface for some years now. Another thing that triggered early memories was doing writing exercises based on memoirs. </p>Rachel commented on 'I gotta get that closet cleaned out one of these days'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0120a572575c970c2009-08-25T14:07:28Z2009-08-25T14:07:28ZRachelDavid, You have an amazing ability to bring even the simplest story roaring to life in living color.<p>David,</p>
