Tired of sleeping
Well I don’t think I’ll be sleeping anymore. 
Perhaps it was the garlic and onion canned tomato I put into the rice and chicken dinner tonight or maybe it was the fact that I went to bed tonight at 9:30pm, but for some reason I woke up at 3am. I stayed in bed for an hour trying to get back to sleep but it just wasn’t happening.
So I’m up and writing on this blog while catching up on my listening to Harry Shearer on Le Show. He has some very interesting insights on news and events around the world. Check him out. (Yes the guy from the Simpsons.)
I think I need to get a new bed. Actually I don’t think, I know. There is a shallow indentation in the center of the bed that causes you to roll downward into it. This happened a couple years ago during a particularly entertaining evening when company was over but I didn’t notice until several months later. For some reason I was distracted. The shallow has gotten worse over the years.
Regardless I’m thinking of trying a waterbed this time. I hear they are much better for the back. Maybe I’ll be able to get a solid nights sleep again.
In the meantime off to the races.
Speaking of races, there is a positive side to getting up in the middle of the night. On Sunday I got up at 4 am and it was a full moon. I went to the kitchen and looked out the back window and saw movement in the backyard. Bigfoot!
I looked closer and upon further inspection it turned out not to be bigfoot but was in fact a herd of deer. There were perhaps 12 of them moving in a line across the back yard. There were baby deer, does and a few larger deer all cautiously moving through the yard. Their coats were highlighted by the moon and you could see them in various levels of shadow and light as they crossed. It was very cool to watch.
Today is a rest day on my trek to Mount Olympus so no updates on that front.
In the meantime here’s some Music by one of my favorite Artists.
