It's almost two in the morning, and I am about to go to bed. I got up at 4 this morning to catch a plane from Springfield at 6:55 to St. Louis. Then I flew out of St. Louis at 8:55 and was back in Oklahoma at 10:15.

But I was so tired. I rarely can go to sleep before 11; last night it was more like midnight. That made for a very short night. I was barely back in Oklahoma til I got a call from Mother needing some things. I ran by the pharmacy, stopped by the nursing home for a brief time, picked up some lunch and headed home.

By 2 p.m., I was sound asleep on the couch; I got up,ate a bite around 5:30, fell asleep again and didn't awaken until 10:30.

So, I have been up since then. I think I am sufficiently tired now, however, that I may be able to get some sleep. So, it's good night or good morning, whichever works better in your time zone.

Later....
