Working my way through the lack of sleep

I wonder if there is something I can do which will allow my body and my mind to work in concert so that I will sleep through the night and not awaken early in the morning and sit in this chair and type messages into the computer to relieve my mind and give myself some succor. Ten years ago, I was going to see my doctor who was prescribing medicine to help me sleep. It was working to a point, but I was still allowing my body and my brain to work against me. I am sitting in this chair and it isn't that comfortable. I could stand to lose some weight, about forty pounds. That would help. I am venting regularly here so that I can lose the anxiousness.

How does nostalgia work? Is this the refuge of the middle aged? Do I gain anything for all of my memories? It is a silly sadness.

Kate and I are going to do some climbing/hiking this summer. I would like to do that more regularly, but Kate is my only hiking partner. She may soon find herself in France. It will be difficult to hike with her when she is on the other side of the world. Hiking in concert: she around Versailles, me around Georgia.

I wouldn't mind taking a trip to Virginia. or to Tennessee. I would like to go out west.

The Braves are beating the accursed Mets on a replay of a game played last night. 8-2. The Braves could stand to make their good games a little more consistent. Fifteen years ago, they could depend on their pitching to keep them in games. Right now, they don't have the consistent pitching. Part of their problem is that their ace pitcher, Tim Hudson, is on injured reserve. But they are still beating the accursed Mets and I know they won this game last night. It is still good.

I will close up this laptop pretty soon and will go back to sleep for about an hour. Before the alarm goes off again and the day starts.

Buddy Carlysle is losing his composure here. It is good that I know that they win this and that there are two outs in the bottom of the ninth. There is no ninth inning two out rally here, New Yorkers. Your Mets will disapoint. That's good.

I need to check on the schedule for the Rays next weekend.
