I was living in my old house in MA. I had a plastic laundry basket that I could ride in as it floated in the ocean. I remember that one day, I woke up and my parents were gone, so I set out to look for them in my laundry basket. I arrived in Spain five minutes later on a beautiful beach at sunset. There was a small boy doing laundry in the beach water, he seemed exasperated by my arrival. He asked me if I was a tourist, and I replied "Mi corazon es lleno de amor," meaning my heart is full of love. I wanted to prove to him that I could speak spanish so he would take me to my parents. He pointed up to a house higher up on the beach, and when I opened the door to the house I saw my parents sitting at a desk with someone. My mother had a briefcase open in front of her and was trying to sell diamonds to the man on the other side of the desk. For some reason this upset me and I got back into my laundry basket and five minutes later arrived at CMU. When I arrived, Hammerschlag was building a giant trojan Ostrich statue.
