I not only get the words, ideas, and images vying for attention when I close my eyes, they wake me up too! I love the title - reminds me of Joni Mitchell's 'idiomatic logic' in her song 'Twisted' and I'm pleased to say I knew most of the idioms. I also learned a few new ones - thanks for 'Who’s all show and no go' and 'His elevator doesn’t go all the way up'!Kim M.
