I don't have anything critical to say about this. I just wanted to encourage you to keep writing these thoughts. You are definitely one of my favorite writers. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Well I ?d say, you are sweet but why swell your head? You know it already. Thank you.
Comment from Jim Wile
Yes, Tom, you have not changed. Just as demented and mystifying as ever. I trust you didn't really molest your sister as a teenager, (unless what you meant by "abuse" was verbally abuse, in which case you probably did and deserved to be cracked over the head with a baseball bat).
Funny the way the mind works. I had rather demented golf dreams all the time--hardly ever pleasant ones. I would always be trying to tee my ball up on a teebox and couldn't find a place to tee it without my swing being constrained by something. I could never seem to take an unimpeded swing as much as I kept changing positions on the teebox. Either that, or there were low-hanging tree branches in the way, or a very narrow gap to hit between and always the most tree-lined, difficult holes I'd ever played. I never seemed to get anything but a snowman on those holes. Aarghhh! Frustrating!

Hmm. You have given me thought re: GOLF, a four-letter word of profanity, fer sur. Back in the day, before becoming a saint I could cuss as well as anyone (remember, I was a sailor) but once converted the only four letter word I used on a round was G O L F. I believe that was when the rest of my foursome thought me strange... or demented.
Golf must have been invented, not in Scotland or the Netherlands, but somewhere beyond the "Outer Limits" in the "Twilight Zone," because my swing is in constant flux with a new idea coming each time I play.
Thanks for taking the time to write, albeit with a prod from me, perhaps. Fondly yours.

Hello Tom,
in all honesty, I had a bit of a time following this. I was reading some of the other reviews, and I guess I'm just stupid or something, because I'm unable to grasp this. That being said, all the other musings I've read of yours are indeed humorous, so don't let what I may say hinder you in the least from continuing on.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

That's okay. As challenging as it may have been for you to read imagine how difficult it was for me to write. Still, slow and easy wins the race. Thanks for the effort.

I hope dreaming of your sister was a good thing and not something that made you lose more sleep over. You bring up old movies so I am guessing that is your go to for insomnia. Another fascinating installment of Tom's demented adventures of the mind. Gretchen

I'm a nutcase myself with an attention span not much longer than . . . uh . . . well, you know. But you always seem to start my days off with a smile and keep me coming back to see what you'll come up with next. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe we can join up and share our experiences
I am available between the hours of one a.m. and five a.m.

Well, LOL, it sounds like we have a lot in common. I sleep maybe three hours a night and have for 40 years. The doctors say it will kill me, but so far they're wrong. There are many times I wish I had someone to talk with through "the wee small hours of the morning, when the whole wide world is fast asleep." Have a great rest of your week!

Have a great rest of your week? Rest? Like in sleep, or remainder.
There Tom goes to a tangent once again
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This sounds like an horrific nightmare Tom and I am glad to read it is all fiction. Being half asleep or half awake sometimes conjures up some hallucinations, glad it wasn't real, love Dolly x x x

Me, as well, for it not only disturbed my sleep but likely Sharon's ,too.
Comment from Douglas Goff
Many will not read without a reward. A truer statement I can not find. That is Fanstory. Reward and punishment. As I reflect upon my newest Three Star Rating, I frown that I paid to post that and the person received a reward for trashing my book. Maybe 3 Stars are the furtive fives? I know not.
Anyways, Tom's writs ARE funny. I did not have to be prompted to say that. D

Furtive or future five.
It wasn't I giving you a three, was it?
I have been accused of giving less than five but if and when it was posted as such, it wasn't meant to be.
Thanks for hanging with my absurdities, pal.

No you are my friend. Friends don?t give friends threes. Ha!
Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Was she holding Negans bat from the Walking Dead? Did she say what she wanted? It must've been important to wake you at such a time. The whole thing seems mystifying. Which is probably why it happened to you. Hope I have helped clear up any confusion. Nicely written and funny

I think it's better to let sleeping dogs lie, which are happier than I was at 4:45 a.m.
Thanks once more for the encore comment. You earned the reward.
Comment from BethShelby
The most disturbing part of this that you were weren't totally asleep while this image of your sister holding a bloody bat was playing in your head. If you are sound asleep you can't really be held accountable of your nightmares which are do to pain or discomfort you may be experiencing. I think if you're up writing at five in the morning, hopefully the love of your life is still enjoyed her sleep. If you're still on that sofa, I'm pretty sure she is.

Still am, and will be unless the sofa breaks down, for it may be difficult to find another as appealing. It fits me like a tee.
P.S. the wife os not complaining.
