Abstract

On the first day of the rest of my life, I rolled over and went back to sleep. For 43 years, four months and 17 days, but who's counting, I had set the alarm for an ungodly hour, which was so early that even God wasn't up. Then I would stagger into the office, mumble "good morning" to no one in particular, because no one in particular would listen to me, plop my posterior into a worn-out chair, and roll over and go back to sleep at my desk.
