I'm doing well. Normally I would have been up to chat last night, but lack of sleep caught up. LOL! We've had a bunch of rain lately that is just about bringing us up to normal. Saw a couple float planes land when I went to the airport the other night to pick up my Dad upon his return from his China-India-Burma reunion in Washington DC. They all got to go the the WWII 60th Commemoration and were really treated well by all the services there. He even was given water by a 2 star something (I forget what he said).

I thought about you when Pusterfuss said he was going to the fair. Are the new planes still on track? Is Mrs Aeronaut's hand back to 100%? Did Otto get to go to the fair?

Well, give exact instructions to the preener, we don't want them messing you up. OBTW, have a good sleep while there.

My preeners are excellent and help me feel good and look as good as the magicians can accomplish. I didn't get the nap, though, so I'm still psycho.

Insomnia is when you can't sleep. Apnea is when you stop breathing during sleep. It prevents you from reaching Stage 4 sleep, so you never get restorative sleep. Both insomiacs and sleep apneacs (sp?) are usually tired all the time.

So, tell me who the insomniace are... :)
