To: Dog Gone

I worked on a farm every summer from the time I got out of diapers (family farm and everybody who doesn't pee his pants has a job in the busy season.) If somebody would pay me enough, I might return to that kind of work in my retirement. It is hard physical work, the kind that makes you sleep like a dead thing once you get over all your pains and fall asleep, but it is honest, healthy work that keeps you in good shape.

I know my part-time job (performing at the Texas Renaissance Festival) doesn't even compare, but after 14 hours in the October Texas sun, I sleep like an absolute log.

Much better than I do after a ten-hour day in my office, I might add.

So true. So did I until college.
