Last Night, my wife and I were watching "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" on the Food Network. One of the segments that I caught was about a pizza place in Gilbert, Arizona. The name of the pizza palace was Sal's New York Pizza. That fun place is in the Southeast part of the Greater Phoenix Area.
There were some unusual (to me) pizza pies that the owner was cooking up for his customers. Guy Fieri was sure eating it up on the show.
I saw people eating baked ziti pizzas and chicken marsala pizzas as part of the cuisine there. Now I'm not sure if I'm hungry for those pizzas just yet, but I am hungry for Arizona.
Now early this morning, I was in the middle of a dream where I was a passenger inside a car driving down I-10 Westbound away from Downtown Phoenix. I was looking around "The Stack" interchange. That is the set of ramps that connect I-10 to I-17 (See accompanying video near the end of this).
Still I am in the dream. I don't know where I was going while I was riging around. Later on, I was wisked around different restaurants and eating establishments around the Valley.
Back to reality. I haven't been back to Arizona since late 2012. I have family priorities at this time, and there's no telling when I'll be back there. I'll let Youtube take me where I want to go throughout the Grand Canyon State.

Dreaming of San Marcos, the Gwinnett Gladiators, and getting healthier
Early Friday morning, I had a dream where I was moving back to San Marcos, California for good. I was moving with my father from Georgia back to Southern California. I didn't care. I was holding my hands and arms high up in the air and proclaiming "I'm Home!!!" I felt really comfortable about being back in the home I grew up in when I was between 7 and 9-years-old.
In reality: I am home!!! I'm in Georgia with a loving family with me. I have a beautiful wife, baby, upcoming baby, and a kitty cat who loves my lap.
In my next dream, my travels took me to Chattanooga, Tennessee to see the Gwinnett Gladiators play a game against an unknown team. I was ready to place a concessions order for just a Pepsi. I ordered a 32 oz. pepsi for $3. Later on in the dream, the concessions guy said that for $2 more, I can have chicken fingers and fries to go with my drink. I said "DEAL" faster than I could blink.
In reality: I haven't been to a Gwinnett Gladiators game in at least 3 years. I don't think there's an ECHL team in Chattanooga. I got a 32 oz. Pepsi for 99 cents at a gas station earlier on Sunday.
I dream of better health. Seriously, I have not been feeling well all year. I've had maybe three days of perfect health before my latest setback of having more coughs, a cold, sore throat, and an earache.
Finally, in reality, I plan on raising my family in Acworth, Georgia for the length of my children's childhood. I owe it to them.

Distant Video Replay of 2015 #9: Silver Spoons Season 3 Episode 19 Trouble with Words Part 2 (1985)
This is how I want to remember Bruce Jenner.
A dream come true for me as a commuter
Earlier on Sunday I saw signs on I-75 Southbound heading into Downtown Atlanta saying "Speed Limit 65". I saw those signs as I was approaching the Cobb Cloverleaf, better known as the I-75/I-285 interchange in Northwest Atlanta on the Cobb County side.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My eyes didn't deceive me, I think. As I passed through the Cobb Cloverleaf, I saw more signs posted as having a 65 mile an hour speed limit.
I was so amazed by what I saw. For the first time ever in my 15 years of living in the Atlanta Area, I could go 65 MPH comfortably with fear and threat of being pulled over.
Not only that, it's the right thing to do to have traffic freely flowing at 65 MPH when there's no rush hour traffic or any traffic jams to speak of. People in my town are used to going fast no matter what the speed limit says.
I know it is dangerous by the other drivers to speed or ride my bumper, but I'm a realist. I know what's going on when I'm behind the wheel. I can't go into someone else's head to see what they're thinking when I'm in my own car.
Well it's time for me to go now. It's time for me to go home to the comfort of my family. I'll see if the signs say "Speed Limit 65" going Northbound from Downtown Atlanta. That'll be a pleasant surprise.
One more thing, I wish I had the photos to prove to you what I saw. Since I was driving, I could not rightly take a picture and operate a vehicle at the same time. I have to keep safety in mind when I'm behind the wheel.
My dream for down the road (no pun intended) is to teach my son good driving habits. The best way I can do that for now is to practice them each and every day.

I dream of starting a blog
I think I'll make that dream come true tonight. I'm going to call it "Daddy on Duty." I'm going to put it on Wordpress.
