"Following a Hobbit in a Cotton Candy Field . . ."

Michael Crowley has a great anecdote at the Plank (via a story in the New York Times) that will fully appeal to the dcat audience:

When [New York Knicks forward] Jared Jeffries awoke from an anesthetic stupor on Tuesday, his first concern was not his surgically repaired wrist. It was his stomach. "I hadn't eaten for like 20 hours; I was delirious," Jeffries said. So much so, he said, that doctors told him he awoke babbling about a rather vivid dream: "I was following a hobbit in a cotton-candy field, chasing chili dogs."

We've all had that dream; few of us have been brave enough to articulate it.
