Insomnia II

I had just finished a book on Genghis Khan and started one on Eisenhower, so it's UNDERSTANDABLE I had trouble getting to sleep with all that excitement.

Don't try this at home, you crazy Gentle Viewers!

A MYSTERY IDENTIFIED! ADD YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS!

  1. I used to read your blog and wonder what your situation was if you were married, dating, gay, whatever. You don't have any photos of yourself here or any loved ones besides some family members and friends but no you and no significant other. But this says a LOT. You lay in bed and read about Genghis Kahn and Eisenhower and then lay there and play with your camera when you can not sleep??? Whatever your situation is, you sleep alone! lol!

    Why do you have 2 clocks though?

  2. Dearest Anonymous,

    Thanks for your interest. My "situation" is one that I must be ready at a moments notice to risk life and limb of to take flight within minutes, never to return again to familiar surroundings! To strike out on that open road with a lantern in my hand seeking truth and an honest....no, wait. That's not me.

    I'm a SELF ABSORBED RECLUSE! Can't you read? That means I have hundreds if not THOUSANDS of photos of me and the bed partner du jour...no, wait, that's not me either...

    I just post photos I want to see again and they aren't usually of me. You can see me in my icon!

    And yes, I sleep alone, but my wife, Laura Petrie, sleeps in the other twin bed on the opposite side of the nightstand.

    AS IF YOU HAVE NEVER PLAYED WITH YOUR CAMERA IN BED! Actually, I think I was looking at photos I had taken that day and not uploaded to my computer yet. It's cool! AND BRIGHT!

    And I don't have 2 clocks!!! I have 3. You can't see the other one because it's a Battery Operated clock with hands. The blue one I can't see without my glasses but it has a great radio, and red one is the only one I can see but has no radio. They all go off at different times. It's a symphony, really.

  5. First Anonymous: Second Anonymous is right. There is a standing invitation to all Gentle Viewers for a sleep-over in the night of their choice. 48 hours notice is requested however, and a 24 hour cancellation policy MUST be enforced due to high demand.

  6. So so tempting... maybe when it's not so cold there. And I just love sleep-overs... but I have to warn you now I only sleep naked. ;)

  8. I don't post photos of me either and probably for the same reason. Well, there is that one of the choir, but my own mother couldn't pick me out of that one with an electron microscope.

  9. Exactly. If I want to experience that horror, I can just look in the mirror. And why would I want to inflict that on my readers? What have they ever done to me?

    I forgot to mention that I use 2 clocks. A digital clock radio that I can read with my glasses off (sort of) and a battery-operated analogue clock with an alarm that goes from very gentle to full nuclear meltdown alert over the course of a minute or so. 'Cause 6:50 a.m. is not nearly as motivating to me as 10 to 7. I am not a morning person. When my parents named me "Dawn," they were being ironic.

  11. I think 'uvsecehe' may well be Swahili for "Dude! It's quarter to 1! Go to bed!"

    But I may have my dialects confused.

    Mine is 'gtofsayt' 'Nuff said.
