Isn't it great as well to allow the brain to meet the body and take a well-deserved snooze on the couch? I seem to take quite a few of those, only in the sitting up position while reading the Times on a lazy day. Always fun to hear from you.

Was my moment of understanding revolutionary in the scope of things, not even close. <br />My moment happened late on a Sunday afternoon. After having finished the Sunday crossword, the brain figured some down time would be in order. The body in full agreement seconded the motion and began to yaw a bit to the starboard, which became more of a tilt, followed by a lean, then a full free fall culminating with a collision of the head with sofa cushion. As I understand it, I had been making my intentions well known since right after the meeting of brain and body adjourned. I had always thought I snored peacefully during my naps my wife, however, says otherwise. <br />In what seemed to be an instant later grandpa (me) awoke with a gasp. It was the sound of air rushing out from my lungs as my grandson, who has had a running start from his mom's car in the driveway, pounced on his napping grandpa. I was jerked suddenly awake sputtering and working hard to gain my senses. I grabbed the offender, who was giving his grandpa the best bear hug a four year old can give, and returned it. Like the cartoons of old the light above my head flashed on as I realized, at that moment everything was right with the world. <br /><br />Erick HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
