I Need a Lullaby. That or a New Reticular Formation

"It's 3am I think I'm lonely." (Matchbox 20, 19??). Rather..... it's 5:30am and I know I'm wide awake. Been having trouble sleeping the last couple weeks and I've been blaming it mostly on the heat but the last two days and nights have been quite reasonable and I actually woke up shivering this morning and am a little bivverly right now. However, sleep still seems quite a ways away.

I went and played pool with Jim G. tonight at Celebrity Billiards up on the mountain here in Hamilton. It's a pretty nice pool hall but JIM likes it because you can still smoke there providing you become a member for the over the top price of $1 whole dollar. I guess the NL government learned from Ontario's mistakes and banned the private club option and patios. Quite possibly a good thing but I'm sure a lot of businesses in Newfie are going to suffer because of the anti-smoking regulations. Anyway, more importantly, I whooped Jim's butt in 8 ball (3 of 3 races to 5 --- at $5/set) however I'm still trying to figure out how he beat me 5 games to 4 in 9-ball, mind must have been elsewhere or the heat. Oh yeah we also had a quick bite to eat at this place called Lick's which kinda has a 50's diner kind of theme and the biggest hamburgers I have ever seen. I was going to order a double burger but decided not to at the last minute thank God, I could barely get my mouth around the single burger and you've all seen me eat before!

Other than that I've done very little besides work and the occasional game of softball which is usually not as enjoyable as it could be again possibly due to the pyroclastic like air we are having. Brutal! Did I mention that it is really bloody hot? I started experiment 2 and have some preliminary data analysis done and will do more tomorrow depending on when I wake up if I ever actually get to sleep

Anyway.... no fancy pics or anything overly amusing to say so i am going to take off and see if I can sleep now. Hope all is well with whoever sees this. Be good.
