I spent some time in Somnia last night. Couldn’t sleep for beans.

So, what do you do when you can’t sleep?? For me, I read and channel surf. No volume, just repeated surfing through as many channels as I can, before the TV starts all over again from Channel 2. Once you get past Channel 70, there’s a lot of white snowy screens. Like Winnipeg weather in late August…

Late-nite TV is quite entertaining, if not even just a bit educational. Granted, almost every channel in the universe has gone to infomercials at that time, so you don’t get to find much in the way of classic TV reruns anymore, like Perry Mason, or Too Close For Comfort. How come Jim J. Bullock isn’t on one of those many Law & Order shows??

Rather than listen to some late-nite yahoo try to make me a commodities millionaire with no money down while cleaning every room in the house with the magic of orange, I think it might be more fun at that time of night to have someone really wacko, pitching something even goofier.

“Grow Back Severed Fingers! Miracle Cream Re-Grows Body Parts!!”
“I’m Maury Povich’s Real Father!! DNA Test Reveals Truth!!”
“Exercise And Dieting Kills!! Sedentary Lifestyle Extends Life AND Reduces Cuticle Maintenance!!!”
“How To Collect Fresh Ostrich Feathers For King-Size Pillow Riches!!”

Now wouldn’t coming across one of those shows give you pause enough to consider getting the heck back into bed??

Chow for now!!

taking a cue from my daughter...

how to deal with insomnia, something I rule at. 1) yahoo pyramid solitare - hypnotic 2) POGO - any game works but vaults of atlantis slots is great 3) any book by Stephen King -waiting for him to get to the point by taking 300 pages works and 4) a little green pill my doctor gave me realllllly works great!

oh and your neice says, that pill is less habit forming than ambien so it's all good...

1) Considering entering the Whitney Houston Free Cell Rehab Center, don't even want to consider adding Solitaire to my schedule...
2)Hey! I haven't gone to Pogo in ages, I used to LOVE Tank-Hunter..
3) Who's Stephen King??
4) If I'm ever allowed to buy a banjo, I'd lull myself to sleep instead of taking any more medication than what I already do (Legally, I'm diabetic).
