I am moving and getting rid of extra stuff. I have three air conditioners I've brought to a childhood friend's home - I tell his parents I only need one but don't ask for money until I convince them to take the other two. There is a carton of menthol cigarettes on a table, torn in half lengthwise - most of the tobacco is in a pile around the carton. My friend's dad tells me, "These are the only menthol cigarettes I've ever smoked." I put some of the old, dry tobacco in my mouth. It's very unpleasant.

I have two cars and am selling one. I think about all the money I'll be saving.

I am on the Olympic swim team. I've never met the coach and need to find him to tell him my best stroke is the backstroke and if he puts me in the 100 or 200 meter, I'll win. I'm on a kind of island in the pool with my digital camera I've brought to have someone take a picture of me swimming. I can't think of a way to get off the island without getting the camera wet, but I fall into the pool yet successfully toss the camera on a table beside the pool.

I am preparing for the race, but instead of swimming I will be performing - reading and singing and telling jokes. It's unclear whether this is expected or is a stunt I'm pulling. I have a large book I will be using and it's falling apart. Different parts of my performance are coming from different books I've torn apart and reassembled - I can't find all the sections. A girl is helping me, she's my assistant. We're looking through a library for the missing parts of my book. I find Ecclesiastes 3 which is part of my performance. I hope it comes off as irreverent and some people are offended.

My assistant's purse is sitting unattended. I can hear Ken Nordine talking from her cell phone inside the purse. I take it out and he tells me, "You know McCain's never going to leave government." I think this is brilliant - McCain complains about big government and Washington insiders - if he were sincere he'd simply leave Washington. I thank Nordine and tell him that will be my opening line.
