The Hall of Mirrors: Early Evening

October 27, 2002

Early Evening

It is 9:30 at night and already the house is silent. Dani is finally asleep, having passed through the hacking cough and into the relaxation that allows her to sleep. Ryan was in bed quickly and easily by shortly after 8pm. And even Kevin fell asleep while reading. My eyes are tired as well, although I refuse to let myself sleep yet.

This is simply the way it is, the first day back to standard time. The hour that we fall back used to be simply taken as an extra hour of sleep. But now, with children, that luxury no longer exists. And so we all rose our normal times, that becoming an hour early, and now in the evening we are all exhausted early as well.

I can see advantages to this -- I could use to simply adopt this new schedule and keep it. *dry laugh* Yeah, right. One night's good sleep and I'll be back to normal, awake until midnight and struggling out of bed at 6am.

But for tonight, I *am* tired. And perhaps I will try to get some sleep.

... This striving for excellence extends into people's personal lives
as well. When '80s people buy something, they buy the best one, as
determined by (1) price and (2) lack of availability. Eighties people
buy imported dental floss. They buy gourmet baking soda. If an '80s
couple goes to a restaurant where they have made a reservation three
weeks in advance, and they are informed that their table is available,
they stalk out immediately, because they know it is not an excellent
restaurant. If it were, it would have an enormous crowd of
excellence-oriented people like themselves waiting, their beepers going
off like crickets in the night. An excellent restaurant wouldn't have
a table ready immediately for anybody below the rank of Liza Minnelli.

I agree with what you say - makes sense to me. Looking for some propecia?
