Wow! Looking at this list, it's even more than I realized. And I've probably forgotten something. No wonder I've been sleeping better. Sleeping too much, if anything. Tonight I must catch up on things I didn't do last night because I fell asleep around 11:00 PM and slept for nine hours. Chris is currently irritated because one of his cooks called in with insomnia. OK, that's not such a great reason to miss work on a Jazzfest weekend, but I know how debilitating it can be. Can't imagine trying to work a busy line on no sleep. I could do it when I was 22 if I had to, and sometimes did, but of course then I could do all sorts of things that would surely kill me now.
it's no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners
the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn't need speedometers
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water
