And I suppose you might say it has led me to my current profession. I mean, who knows books better than an insomniac? Just because I crash into things more than most folks and can't remember names to save my life...hmm.

I have been trying to jump up, shake it off, and go out on the property to do something, like dig a hole for a fencepost, or put in more steps up that slope that keeps eroding...That 'Logy" feeling is fine when doing manual labor that requires zero (0) intellect. Perfect for me. Brainless. Mindless. Fatty,...Botched is right...and my advice is to paint the Acura red, with a brush and your kids helping. Perfect. Also: as you get older, you will need to stretch well in the shower before collapsing, er...ah...lying down..., on the couch after a long ride. Otherwise, you will wake up with cramps, and that isn't very good. A great way to lose weight after that long ride is to limit the time you have in the pantry and in front of the refrigerator, just prior to the 'couch visit'. Less time means less calories, usually.

The next day a chronic bout of as-yet unexplained, but totally debilitating fatigue set in. Now all I can do is nap, and I haven't turned a pedal in anger (or any other emotion) since October. I am not saying the missed nap was the decisive factor in getting sick, but there is some kind of terrible symmetry here. Since I've lost my appetite too the memory of that veal stock is pretty much all that's keeping me going. On the plus side, my weight is dropping almost as fast as my power, so the ratio should stay on the level. 3 months ago I went for the usual saturday morning spin – around 75 miles in American money – and skipped my usual nap in order to spend the afternoon cooking an extremely elaborate dinner (there is no point making veal stock if you don’t start off with at least ten litres of water, and up with less than two).

Napping is hereditary. My old man could fall asleep with a jack hammer in the room. I am not that bad, but I can fall asleep most places--but not on planes, dammit! 2. Nap times expand from age 40 to 55. Be prepared for the hour nap to extend to up to 2.5 hours as you age. 3. The boundaries between napping and sleeping will blur. If you come home from work on Friday, lie down for a minute before dinner, awake in your clothes at about Midnight, undress, fall asleeo until 8 AM, is it a nap and a sleep, or a long sleep? Just askin'. Hey Syracuse, congrats!! b21 As one in the latter stages of FC’s middle age definitional range, the following observations apply

I should be more respectful of my elders. Oops, I think I may have done it again.

Thanks for giving me hope for the future.

Your car is not a Ferrari, but I'd call it a sports car for sure. I mean it's not like you're driving a 1986 honda accord. Fatty, never mind the naysayers.

New baby just showed up today. Good thing I have already embraced the afternoon nap. I figure, being in my early 30s, that I'm ahead of the game. Well, naps may be all the sleep I get for a while.
