Deep sweet complicated dreams, partly because I was genuinely ready to sleep at a good time on a cool night, and partly because I was watching this as I drifted off.

I won’t bore you. Suffice it to say that my stepfather was played by Steve Martin; that a lot of the action took place at a truck stop far nicer than any I’ve ever seen in real life; and that I got a giant hug from a tiny girl because I did something kind for her.

Sometimes dream life is just about imagining a possible and better real one.

I like it when that happens.
