All flights are grounded, the sky is quiet, there are no flight trails in the sky. It's only the second time since 911. I don't remember the other time. 

 Sometimes in a bad dream I realize I can just wake up and exit unscathed. I did that yesterday. I bought a bad piece of art, and before trying to squirm out of the deal, I just ended the dream. Sweet relief. Sometimes I want to escape the other way, and hope for a sweet dream.

Everything seems to want to collapse.

 I'm tired of the noise in my mind. I'm going to shave my face.
