Sleep is Good

I've had this bad habit lately (last several months) of falling asleep while driving. Sure, I had that one good week in March, the week before I started this blog, and the next couple of weeks were decent. But otherwise, most trips home from work has been adventures, and today it was particularly bad. I have the faintest memory of one stretch of roads, that involved multiple turns, up until I heard a car horn (likely directed at me).

So, short-term solution: pull over already! Just take the 5 minute nap and avoid killing others and myself.

Long-term solution: spend less time on the computer. My online hours have crept up since Easter, which is exactly what I did not want to happen (paradoxically, there's been a corresponding drop in the length and quality of blog posts). I work on this starting tonight, by logging off after this post is finished. My responsibilities will be picking up soon, responsibilities that I'm not used to having, but responsibilities I need to learn for my future and the futures of others.


P.S. Tomorrow is my nephew's 3rd birthday! Aaron and Jennie put together a nice birthday party yesterday for Asher. Unfortunately, I have NO up-to-date pictures of Asher, so here are two older pictures of him. The first is from last year's Fourth of July, and the second is from Halloween.
