So many things, less is more.

When it comes to sleep, more is more.

Sleep enures to everyone’s benefit – likely for everyone I brush against daily. Adds no calories (actually burns them), restores muscles, invigorates, inspires vigorously and recharges enthusiasm batteries – all the while, non-conscious brain percolate, spun, recalculated like that first Univac, rebooting, upgrading body’s operating system, sorting through every file, every bit and byte – every night, passing by and storing (but ignoring) everything that doesn’t make sense.

FIRST PERSON SINGULAR

Thanks but …. Hi Mark. If you ever come back to this part of Hemingway's world, I will be glad to meet. I have 7 brothers and sisters, and many friends who email me, and work HARD for 9 hours a day/ 5days a week, and have a year old puppy that needs a lot of my time and energy. Your Musings are not going to ever get read, so please stop sending so I don't feel guilty for not reading, LH, Ketchum, ID

WHAT COLOUR THE INK
