I recognize the 'plunging down time' and 'getting my second wind', the latter is when I act, sound and look like I've had 20 cups of java and it scares the hell out of most people.

I had gone to sleep while zipping along the highway at 65 miles per hour! The driver behind me had sounded the reveille.<br /><br />I got off the highway and parked, then stretched out on the back seat and slept for a good two hours. I never got to thank my good samaritan.Berownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524661173663604641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-60512821910611454212009-11-19T11:19:52.325-08:002009-11-19T11:19:52.325-08:00Mad’s Mom, the commenters are pretty hot, aren’t t...Mad’s Mom, the commenters are pretty hot, aren’t they?

So I greatly reduced my caffeine intake. Now that I am a codger, I get to nap whenever the mood arises and coffee has lost that effect (acting now only as a laxative). That may disqualify me from giving advice on this subject.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-49255139053782275572009-11-19T10:43:05.081-08:002009-11-19T10:43:05.081-08:00Hi Pearl,
