ANT LIBERATION FRONT!
I don't know which is sadder: Watching these people try and relive the heydays of their youth, or ME for wishing I could go...

I slept well last night!
I actually slept all the way to dawn! That was nice, I'm fed up with not being able to sleep. I'm trying to keep myself awake till later so I can move my sleep schedule. Typically I fall asleep 8:30 or 9pm. Wake up around Midnight and end up laying there thinking till I get up and distract myself with the TV or the Internet. It's hard to function with 4 hours of sleep a night...

I got some sleep last night
It seems I have two speeds when it comes to sleeping: 1) Sleep for a short time OR 2) Sleep for an hour wake up sleep for an hour wake up (repeat). It is running me down. I can't concentrate and I'm forgetting things. Ahhhh..."The Life Of Riley"
Actually I used to live the life of Riley. Ft. Riley that is. Its an old cavalry post between Junction City KS and Manhattan KS (I should say between JCKS and OGDEN KS, but I don't want to give the officials who set up the speed traps in Ogden any love). Ft. Riley was my favorite Army Post we lived in while my Dad was in the Military. We had a stone duplex that was the biggest house I had ever lived in. It used to not be divided and was the quarters for a Captain. YIKES! There were 4 floors. Basement mostly unfinished with a bedroom, bathroom, utility room, and another room (that we had a pool table in). First floor held the sitting room, formal dining room, butler's pantry, kitchen, formal stairway, and back stairs. Second floor had the study, master bedroom, bathroom, living room. Third floor was the domain of my brother and I with the attic storage, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The front of the house was covered with ivy and we had a garage across the street for the vehicles. Our house was by itself on a triangular piece of land between the two major sections of Officer's Quarters on Ft. Riley. I remember when some workmen arrived to remove the ivy from the front of our house and Mom called Dad and then the workmen left without the ivy. One of the benefits of being an Officer's Wife. I don't have a picture of our house with me here in STL (Mom will have one at the Ranch, I'll get it when I visit). I found this picture on the Internet and these are Officer's Quarters...
on the way to this statue.
These two pictures were taken to the right of our house. It was a good place to live.

SLEEP MY FRIEND
Sleep my friend
Sleep is poor
Sleep is penned
my life a bore
Sleep my friend
Sleep the chore
Sleep will end
i'll dream no more
Sleep my friend
Sleep the boar
Sleep will rend
with tusks that gore
Sleep my friend
Sleep the door
Sleep will send
me to life before
Sleep my friend
Sleep not war
Sleep will mend
my heart will soar
DAS

Tiffany at the Sheryl Crow/Elvis Costello Concert underneath the STL Arch!
(my beautiful girlfriend Tiffany, love you girl!)
Snooky goes swimming...
OK, to clarify, 'swimming' refers to Snooky's love of stretching out on her belly & back and crawl thru the grass. It looks like she's swimming... I tried to take a video on my phone of Snooky doing this this morning during our walk but every time the video camera started up it makes weird noise and Snooky would run away from the camera and hide behind me. So all the videos are of empty grass or my shadow. ::shakes head::

Losing weight...
Last Tuesday I weighed in at 278 yesterday I tipped the scales at 265, I suspect all the walking in Chicago was the biggest factor, that and I'm not finishing anything that I eat lately. Less intake, more exercise = skinnier David!
(in HS I weighed 180 lbs)

insomnia
all night long
i lie awake
remembering all
the mistakes i make
my thoughts are mine
and mine alone
i see the outlines
cast by my phone
i wait for the time
to get out of bed
to stop the thoughts
trapped in my head
round and round
i beat the horse
it's nobody's fault
but mine of course
another hour
has come and gone
an hour closer
to the coming dawn
time to get up
and start the day
one hour closer
till i enter the fray
the nightly battle
with me myself
i can't set my troubles
away on a shelf
i obsess and fuss
i bother with them all
no rest for the wicked
till time for the call
the alarm i've set
on my cell phone
i lie awake
and pick at the bone
worrying about
the things i've done
and worrying about
my tasks undone
i'd love to sleep
and lie in bed
but the thoughts won't quit
running round my head
i have to let go
i have to forgive
myself for mistakes
and try to live
the life i have left
and the people i love
and fall asleep
like hand in glove
i doze a bit
my eyes droop shut
i'm almost asleep
except for the but
but for this here
or an imagined mistake
but for that thought there
no more can i take
i want to sleep
to just drift away
but that's not my fate
not along this way
i lie awake
remembering all
the mistakes i make
my thoughts are mine
and mine alone
i see the outlines
cast by my phone
i wait for the time
to get out of bed
to stop the thoughts
trapped in my head
round and round
i beat the horse
it's nobody's fault
but mine of course
another hour
has come and gone
an hour closer
to the coming dawn
time to get up
and start the day
one hour closer
till i enter the fray
the nightly battle
with me myself
i can't set my troubles
away on a shelf
i obsess and fuss
i bother with them all
no rest for the wicked
till time for the call
the alarm i've set
on my cell phone
i lie awake
and pick at the bone
worrying about
the things i've done
and worrying about
my tasks undone
i'd love to sleep
and lie in bed
but the thoughts won't quit
running round my head
i have to let go
i have to forgive
myself for mistakes
and try to live
the life i have left
and the people i love
and fall asleep
like hand in glove
i doze a bit
my eyes droop shut
i'm almost asleep
except for the but
but for this here
or an imagined mistake
but for that thought there
no more can i take
i want to sleep
to just drift away
but that's not my fate
not along this way
so all night long
i lie awake
remembering all
the mistakes i make...

Insomnia is not my friend
We have switched to an earlier shift at work and I worry too much about things so if you add that up you get David not sleeping well. 4 hours of sleep at night just doesn't cut it...
