For years now it has been a dream of mine to be able to see the Blazers play in Orlando and Miami. Why these places you ask? Well I have an aunt that lives in Florida and I thought it would be a blast to be able to go to Florida for a vacation and to go to both games while I was there since they typically play these games back to back.

The hard part for me has always been not knowing what the schedule will be until this time of year. I am usually out of vacation by the time they do play in Florida and it is too late to try to plan a trip. I have always hoped that they play in the beginning of the new year so I have a fresh batch of vacation time but it hasn’t ever worked out for me.

Well my friends, FATE has finally stepped in. Yesterday I got a call from my aunt asking me to house-sit for her when she goes on vacation. And when is she going to be gone?

December 14 through December 21. Which means I will be in Florida when the Blazers take on Orlando and Miami on Dec 19 and Dec 20.

Oh man, what a glorious day for me. I am so excited to finally be able to go see my guys play in another city. Now, if only I can somehow meet the team while I am down there watching the games (hopefully behind the Blazers bench).

Last night I had this dream that I was playing video poker and won $120,000 (playing nickels I might add). It was awesome. I was going to be able to pay off my debts, put down a ton of money on a home and buy a new car. Then of course, I woke up and realized that I am still in debt and not anywhere close to being able to buy a house or new car…it was quite the disappointment.

So I ask you Bedgers, what is the most realistic dream that you have ever had? Were you disappointed to wake up and realize that it was all a fake? Or did you wake up relieved for the life you do have? Or maybe just enlighten us with the weirdest dream you have ever had so we can attempt to analyze it (I have some crazy weird dreams).

Happy Wednesday ya’ll
