Insomniacs Anonymous. Open 24hrs

iTunes is play­ing: Beyond the Sea — Bobby Darin — A Life Less Ordi­nary It’s been a very, very long work day, and I am very, very exhausted. I will sleep soon. But I will wake up after two hours. Such is my plight. (Ala­mak, punc­tu­ated like George W. Bush’s speech pat­tern). It’s not that

K-Crock
