Brasil and Washed Up Celebrity

We went to Brasilia to visit family. I spoke with my nephew, and asked him if a drive to Rio was possible -- I wanted to see where my father grew up. He told me it was a two hour drive. We decided to rent a car and go.

Later on, I dreamt about a washed up baseball player who looked like Wilem Dafoe except lamer and taller. He had starred in a couple of Hollywood movies after retirement before destroying his life and looks with drugs, alcohol, and gambling.

He was giving a speech at a charity dinner, explaining the mistakes he made. I sat in the audience, and didn't even know who he was until he started recounting his story. His face had sagged and hair was unkept.
