Random Daydream

Emeka and I buy a ranch in Arizona, somewhere near Robyn Hitchcock (ha! just kidding there), and a few horses and dogs to go along with it (well, in addition to P and G.) I teach riding lessons on the side and in the cool evenings Emeka and I hop on horseback and ride through some trails surrounding our home. In the days, I'm writing and recording and he's inventing. Hopefully his inventions are working better than the way most inventors are painted in the movies. In addition to inventing he also goes into businesses and makes their energy more efficient. But mainly when I see him at the ranch he's tinkering with some project or another, and hopefully by this time A. has come over and for some reason lives in Arizona as well. He comes over with his family and helps Emeka tinker and build and draw up plans. Meanwhile, a gaggle of kids are running all over the place because of course we school them at home and of course between our family and A.'s there are like 17 of them within the first five years. Oh, well, I mean Chinasa has moved to Arizona as well, and my brother lives just across the way in San Diego, so added all up the kids would be about 17. :) So they run all over the place, and they're basically in my charge since my brother's a doc, Chinasa's a vet, and A.'s an engineer like his brother.
That's just fine. All of us who live in Arizona (sorry, Zak) get up early and crowd up the morning Masses; then breakfast; then school; then lunch (Emeka can make this because I know he can't stand American cuisine); then school; then family prayer time (oohwee); then dinner (ummm...Emeka? Chinasa?); then games, relaxing, reading, whatever--oh yeah, our trail rides; then sleep. On the weekends I make my brother bring his family by and I hope by then my mom's consented to move near Sue, Bob and I (hey! instant friends!) So it's a big family get together constantly which is great because with 17 kids between us all, we'll need the help.
And my novels and stories get published and I play music with Emeka singing sometimes, and who knows what happens with that, what I WANT to happen, etc. but we're also Lay Franciscans so I guess we'd have our work cut out with that as well. Hmm.... Oh yeah and Emeka creates a lucrative invention that sets us all up but as Franciscans we can't keep more than we need. Oh well, with so many kids I guess we'd still need a lot. What else? Oh! I forgot to mention Igbocowboy! He wears this cowboy hat and a cool wrangler shirt with a belt buckle you wouldn't believe and those boots. Well...not all the time. But I make him wear them on our trail rides.
And somewhere along the way I got my PhD so I teach. I guess that means our ranch needs to be near the University of Arizona. Or if there's a Catholic College anywhere nearby. I'll have to check on that. Whew. :)
I love daydreaming....
