Bombadill dreamed\u00a0he was wearing a trench coat\u00a0with a fedora,\u00a0and his wife was giving him a hard time about it.\u00a0Perhaps it was because\u00a0of\u00a0something he ate, or some slight reference to Casablanca<\/em> during the day that he had that particular dream. Or perhaps it was because in\u00a0the woken world, he did indeed own a trench coat and\u00a0fedora, \u00a0and he was married to a wife who liked neither. She did like Casablanca<\/em> however. He would point out guys in old movies wearing trench coats and say how cool they looked. Invariably his wife would rejoin: \u201cYeah, eighty years ago!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bombadill woke and got ready for work. The weather guessers predicted intermittent light showers so he grabbed his trusty trench-coat. \u00a0\u00a0The standard uniform of guys in raincoats in Boston is\u00a0a baseball cap of some sort.\u00a0 No fedoras. Consequently, he donned\u00a0 a Kenmore Air<\/em> cap, as a nod to the rainy city on the other end of U.S. Route 90, and headed out to catch the train to work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was another tired Monday after a poor Sunday night’s sleep.\u00a0He walked to the commuter rail in a daze and in real fog. Tired and exhausted, his thoughts were clouded and he had the painful sense of time passing\u00a0with excruciating slowness. The psychic membrane between dream world and waking wasn’t clear to his exhausted, foggy\u00a0mind.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He stood on the platform in his trench-coat, waiting for the train, not quite sure if wasn’t still dreaming. Hello Monday!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
