I am at the San Jacinto monument. We're waiting in line for the elevator to look at the world from the top of this obelisk, and then we're gonna go explore a battleship.

Go ahead, my good friend, but you should not have too much. The caffeine might not be fully absorbed. Lots of good cream, sugar to your pleasing. Oooh, 32
Go Longhorns!(?) You guys so need the luck

After much fighting with the f-ing insurance company, I now have the paperwork processing which the doctors need to rebuild me, to make me better than I was... better, stronger, faster, at least optically anyway.

To cover for a coworker dealing with a family emergency, I'm back on a flex schedule.  That is, I'm working first shift two days each week, second shift two days each week, and third shift one or two days each week.  My medicines that "may cause drowsiness" do not like this change of schedule.
And the Land of The Siesta is not all that it is cracked up to be.  I'm not to far from Siesta Key.  The beach is great, but the place is too full of tourists to get any sleep.

 
Good. Or these forums would end up being full of suspicious characters. And then I might actually have to work at being a moderator. And I hate to work.

Why, never! I would not do such things, yes?

... that is, until someone slams into Graham Rahal's side and starts an 8-car pile-up.

Drop the water and the chicken and just have the bourbon neat instead. It will make you feel better.

To be fair, the Grand Prix drivers probably have a much better idea of what they are doing as well as fewer delusions about their mortality.

The Grand Prix in St Petersburg, FL.
I see people driving at insane speeds on the streets around here every day.  These racers look safer and more civilized than most of the drivers I usually encounter.

As opposed to you being here on the forums Prof?

My sympathies to you both.  I spent an hour or so listening to myself groaning and quietly swearing and going "Ow ow ow ow ow!" tonight.  Thank you to the Mythbusters for giving evidence that it actually does help, so I didn't feel too silly or self-indulgent about it.

Best wishes to your cat and yourselves, tOH. They're hard to lose, and I hope you don't have to lose yours.

Now hearing the sound of a better-feeling Mrs. Prof listening to something on her computer. She uses that thing for nefarious ends, I tell you ...

I am in fact experiencing something similar these days. I rather often wake up in the middle of the night, stay awake for a couple of hours and then go back to sleep. And I actually feel rather better rested these days for some reason, probably unrelated -- I think I just sleep better in general.
