On the rare occasion that I remember a dream, it's usually a travel freakout.
This time, I was negotiating with the Stuttgart Airport MΓΆvenpick front desk because I checked out but forgot my carry-on in the room. Also, I couldn't remember the room number and they wouldn't let me back in without it.

A fundraiser to feed kids in Durham over the holidays. Such a great campaign! (And so depressing that itβs needed more than ever)
Wonderful game!
