At 9:30, when I turned off the lights I couldn't get to sleep. I spent the next three hours nodding and dozing, during which I had two strange dreams, but I never felt I had actually gone to sleep.
In the first, I dreamed about my Miami University Theatre friend Beth Ewing, who left school in her senior year, 1971, to study in London. No one's seen her since and there was a rumor she married an Indian greengrocer. I tried throughout the 70s before I moved to New York to track her down, but I could not remember her hometown, although I did remember her parents; company, Ewing Nurseries.
