I am in the midst of a large crowd where there are picnic-style metal tables and bench seats. All I can see is a mass of people eating or in line to get food. It is a fundraiser for something, I'm not sure what for exactly. In front of me is a priest and he has just finished a speech and a nun comes up to him and gives him a kiss on both cheeks and Father laughs kind of giddily and says something to the effect of "I got two kisses".
Then I see the family I know from RMC (my old music school that I used to run) walk by and they give me hugs and ask how I am doing and we both say how much we miss seeing each other. We talk for a bit and then they move on in the food line.
Scene Change:
I am playing softball with a team, very casual, no uniforms and varied ages of players. Every time our team is up to bat we hit home runs. At one point a lady on our team hits the ball far down the left side, but no one knows if it was fair or foul so after some discussion we decide to establish a marker that would be the foul line since there are no drawn on the field. The next pitch she hits a home run. I get up next and I ask what the score is and a couple of teammates establish that we have 22 points. I say that I want to hit a home run. Then I hit the ball so far that appears to go beyond the field into the city way beyond into the horizon.
The End!
