Today is cold and somewhat dreary - especially after the taste of early summer we had last week - and I am in a dreaming and wishing mood. So, if I had three wishes, here is what they would be (at this particular moment, and based on the pictures I have available, and not counting anything silly like riches, world peace, perfect health etc. Hey, I am trying to be a little realistic here).
I would be allowed to bring Miikka to work with me. Maybe not every day, but at least once a week. I mean, how can you say no to that face?!

| What could possibly go wrong? |
I would be able to visit the Washington coast any time I wanted to, without having to worry about plane tickets, days off work, or any such mundane details.
 |
| Yes, even when it is cold and gray there too. |
My lilac bush would bloom all summer long, even when it gets up to 105 and hasn't rained for two months.
 |
| I must really be dreaming! |
Of course, if you asked me tomorrow what I wanted, or even in an hour, I would probably give a different response. But that is what dreaming is for, isn't it?

"Once upon a time, I, Zhuangzi, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. […] Suddenly I awoke, and there I lay, myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man."
