Talking to ghosts in movies these days oughtn’t be so crazy.

We just watched Ghost Town, in which (surprise!) Bertram Pincus (the main character) can see and hear ghosts. So he talks to them and of course in various scenes he gets funny looks.

All he need do is wear a bluetooth headset. It doesn’t even have to be turned on. Everyone will just find him annoying, not nutty.

Trying to remember how to fall asleep

Every night of late I lie awake trying to remember how to fall asleep. I go through periods where I fall asleep easily and periods where I don’t.

When I was a senior in high school, one of my friends was a Japanese foreign exchange student named Tetsuya Toyoda. He was in orchestra. I can’t remember if Tetsuya was a cellist, but he invited me to go to a performance by a cellist (with piano accompaniment). So we went to some auditorium and listened to the cellist play. Well, Tetsuya listened. I listened for a while and had a very hard time staying awake. Eventually I just gave up and went to sleep.

Maybe I can hire a cellist to play me to sleep each night. Or maybe Delia would like cello lessons.
