Well, most dreams we’ve experienced don’t have sequels occur weeks later. And, If we’re being honest, you probably can’t call this dream a sequel either. However, it does have a similar themed random quality to it, as the first installment of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. With that said, get ready to join Dan on his quest go from a substitute teacher to full-time academic staff. See how he deals with the forces who are trying to prevent him from achieving his dream, such as, bicycle and rifle delivery trucks, paper mâché students and an inability to talk to a singular woman, without referring to her in the plural. This all happens before he gets off work, at which point he catches a glimpse of the Queen of Dragons, watches his brother get beat senseless with Gatorade and hands out basketballs for Halloween. I’m sure this paragraph makes perfect sense, but if you are in need of further clarification, press play now!

We all sleep roughly 1/3 of our lives, but how much do you really know about an activity you participate in for hours each day. If you’re like us, not much until we decided to dig into all things sleep and figure out what is actually happening to you during those long dark nights. Enjoy part one of this three part sleep series on this week’s episode. If all this talk about sleep has you yawning hold on as things really get crazy when we visit the worlds of exoplanets. Would you like to visit a planet that throws shards of glass around at 11,000 MPH? How about a planets whose atmosphere explodes twice a year?

On a brighter note, you’ll still get all the fun you can expect from a 30+ year old married father who is still in high school, who gets robbed, goes television shopping and ultimately participates in a haunted house focus group. So take a seat, lay back on the couch and let the comedic therapy begin!
