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.
I could groove on cello lessons. Although I must warn you that the piano lessons didn’t *take* so well.

For me it was the 8am chem class by the professor with the monotone lecturing voice, which was only surpassed in later years by the 8am meeting (in the sleepy-warm meeting room) with a ‘state of the company address’ given by a Belgian with an accent so thick than any momentary blip of concentration turned his speech into pleasantly unintelligible liquid white noise.

You were lying awake wondering why you weren’t playing WoW. Welcome back.
