Ya see...I had one of those Big Ben's when I was a kid....The horror of hearing that clanging taught me to get up on my own.

Years ago, while serving on ships, I - and others - would take what we called a nooner. At lunchtime, if you didn’t have the duty, you go down to your rack, pull the curtains and take a short nap. Usually about 30-60 minutes. It always made the rest of the day managable.
I am a superb nappist. Proud of my napping skills but work constantly to improve my napping abilities. One may be born with a particular talent, but that doesn’t mean one shouldn’t strive to get better.
And then once one has those abilities, it behooves one to pass them on to others. This is what I’m trying to do. I want to reach out to millions of potentially good nappists, pull them off their treadmills and bikes, and show them how great it can be to sit down and lose consciousness for an hour or three in the middle of the day.
Right now I’m working to get napping admitted to the 2012 Olympics as an exhibition sport. When people see what a great activity this is and how fabulous it is to watch napping, I’m sure there will be an outcry, and the IOC will agree to let napping as a regular sport for 2016. With luck, dedication, and God’s blessing, I expect to stand on that platform and accept the gold. We Americans can blow China, Russia, Germany, and the other big guns right out of the water in this sport! USA! USA! USA!
I don’t have much going on today (dentist app’t), so I’m going to hop into a hot bath and read about the Mycenaeans. :’)
