Last night I dreamt that my career as alt-weekly journalist took an interesting turn after Sen. Joe Biden asked me to perform his brain surgery. Apparently, the senator had an ongoing problem that needed regularly scheduled surgeries. For his first one, he decided I should do the job, though I had no medical experience whatsoever. He said he'd talk me through it.

The first surgery was strange. We shaved his head and propped him in an old-school barber's chair. I drew on his hairline with black eyeliner and made an incision with an Exacto knife. Next I took my fancy doctor's tool—a tweezers—and tweezed his eyebrows. Each time I pulled out a hair, I said, "Is that okay? Does it hurt?" And he'd just mumble sleepily.

Several years and many surgeries later, PW held a talent show, and Joe Biden had a starring role. I decided to introduce him. I waxed poetic about the way Biden trusted me, a mere writer, with his brain surgery, turning me into one the great surgeons of our day. After I left the stage, and Biden got up to do a song-and-dance number, I realized that I'd only been dreaming about giving him brain surgery so everything I'd just said was a lie. I was deeply humiliated.
