Lullaby....

There is nothing that puts me to sleep faster than Mr. M, one of my former teachers, expounding the fascinating topic of 4th grade-level grammar to a group of bored university students.

Writing papers comes in a close second. Just finished a paper on bioterrorism. Fascinating subject, really, but for some reason, the rhythmic clicking of my keyboard was more soothing than Brahms' lullaby. So the clicking got slower, and slower and slower..... yes, I was falling asleep while typing.

Apparently, my paper was not scary enough. Bioterror is scary, especially considering viral hemorrhagic fevers (my topic). But though scary enough to keep some people awake at night, not enough to keep me awake at 5:55 in the evening.

Maybe I just need some food to wake me up.

No, what made me wake up was the pounding of little feet running down the hallway of my house. My niece is here for a few days, and Dad sent her to get Aunt Rachel to come to supper. My niece is absolutely adorable. Both of them are, but one lives farther away so I don't see her as much... too far away to come get me for supper, anyway.

I'd better go get nourishment before I fall asleep again.
