Adventure Awaits

Last night, I dreamed that I quit my job at the bakery/barber shop. This was difficult news for the Italian owner to take. "Whatsa matta you," he said, and hugged me. Then he got serious, and stopped having an outrageous accent. "Before you go," he said, "you must solve one more mystery for me." He unscrewed the base of a barber chair to show me some clues. And that's how I began The Case of the New Jersey Colognes.

Irritatingly, I don't have any memory of what the clues were, or what the actual mystery was. It's like my brain is serving me teaser-trailers for someone else's more interesting dreams.
