Sleeping Life
J:
I came down with this monster cold last week. It's taking a while to shake
it. Along with the usual symptoms (congestion, scratchy throat, and dizziness)
it also made me unusually sleepy. Some days I mostly stayed in bed until
it was practically time to go to bed again. I missed a couple days of work.
By
yesterday I felt a lot better. Kory came over, we took a long long walk
with Booda, discussed philosophy of math until my brain filled, then we
played a light game of Odin's Ravins. Maybe it was the rum and ginger ale,
I dunno, but after going to bed I didn't get to sleep until sometime after
three AM. So today after coming back from work and feeling some of the
symptoms returning, I plopped into bed until 10:00 tonight.
Other
than that I can't remember what happened this week. Wait -- They
Might be Giants! We went to one of their concerts in DC. Number
12 came along, and I spent most of the night attempting to stand in
one location without falling over while Gina and Charles bounced around
in front and behind me, dancing to TMBG's songs. It's an excellent live
band; they experiment a lot on stage, and their experiments seem to work
well indeed. The lead guitarist is phenomenal.
We
also got more snow last Thursday. That and my cold kept us from visiting
the Looneys.
Sunday
morning my brother Karl called me from Taiwan and we talked for about an
hour, mostly about silly things like Aunt Bea's fried chicken (from the
Andy Griffith Show). I hope he didn't lose too much money on that call.
My old friend from my old neighborhood, Johnny Cameron, called the other
night, too. We talked for a long time about movies, books, and the roadside
pranks we pulled way back when I was 14 and he was, I dunno, 10? Crazy
things like fake hangings and bicycle wrecks. One time I gave a lesson
to about seven kids on "how to sit on a fence and fall off backwards without
hurting yourself". We all sat on fences down the whole road, and waited
for cars to drive by, then fell off the fences one by one. That must have
looked strange to the passengers in the cars. |
