Quite the dream last night. Was in a small plane, maybe a fifty or eighty seater, talking to some guys from a local band, Endless Mike & the Beagle Club. I went to get something from a storage compartment, but it ended up being more like the cargo hold. The plane started noticeably accelerating, and perhaps even dropping in altitude a bit, and one of the guys from the band asked what was going on, and I said, "Ah, they're probably just trying to avoid some turbulance."

Then there was a loud clunk, the plane shuddered violently, and the engines shut off. I could feel in my stomach that we were now descending very quickly. I was there in the cargo hold, and it sure seemed like the plane was going to crash. I was scared- I prayed, "God, if its going down like this, please let it be painless."

I woke up then, in a real "fight or flight" adrenaline rush.

Is it common practice for "mom and pop" Italian joints to have their main dining room decorated with framed pictures from The Godfather, Scarface, Carlitos Way, The Sopranas, and Goodfellas?

Oh yeah, and do they typically also put up a framed picture of John Gotti right by the entrance, so you've gotta stare him down to leave?

Guess I thought that bit of Italian heritage was typically left unmentioned... in an Italian joint...
