OMG!™


.
Spring has sprung.
.
I think I should sleep later than 6:45 A.M. on Saturdays, but neither my mind nor my body agree.
.
There is Spring-like weather in Brooklyn: showers and thundershowers continuing through the morning, after some dramatic downpours overnight. The storms may be severe. High 77F and Wind SSW at 15 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Tonight will be partly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Low 56F. Winds WSW at 20 mph. Chance of rain 30%. Now THAT'S weather!
.
Last night I got to sleep before 1:00 A.M., but was so exhausted, that I think I needed eight or nine hours of sleep. Does that ever happen to you?
.
Last night, I was sitting in the club at Giants Stadium after the Red Bulls v San Jose match, waiting for a snack and some drinks to be delivered. My 5-year-old daughter was running about chatting-up the front office staff, waiting for the players to arrive. I am no longer allowed to be with her while she socializes in the club. Suddenly, one of the players, a very tall, very handsome man with whom we have become friendly, walked into the room with her swept-up in his arms, both of them grinning from ear-to-ear. A wonderful sight.

Glenda Jackson and Albert Finney share a birthday! Who knew?
.
So, this sleep thing is odd! As I am further into my sixth decade than I want to think, I find that sleep is harder to get.
.
My wife doesn't seem to have this problem (but then, she has not started her sixth decade, has she?!?!?).
.
Do you have a wife?
.
Mike Garson is my most recently added friend at Facebook. Who is yours?
