So many demands on my time these days. Of course, we have the ongoing political melodrama in the nation’s capitol where Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts is “presiding” over the impeachment trial of Donald John Trump in the US Senate. To be honest, I might as well be “presiding” if I had the appropriate robe. That poor man can’t decide anything. Not his fault, just the way the rules are in the upper chamber. No wonder Roberts’ hands were shaking when he was sworn in by Chuck Grassley Monday. He must have seen the handwriting on the wall. The first day ended at 2:00 a.m. the next day.
Couple the late hours of the Senate trial with the even later hours of the first tennis Grand Slam event of 2020, the Australian Open in Melbourne, and I find myself going to bed later and later every night. Down Under is a phrase I now use to describe myself and my covers when I try to wake up every morning wondering whether it is today or tomorrow. Australian time remains one of life’s great mysteries for me every year during the Open, but my body knows the jet lag in my recliner is real.
early to bed, early to rise…makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise,
say Ben Franklin and Pretty
late to bed, on the other hand, can be a problem
Stay tuned.

You sound exhausted! Get some rest. You can’t watch all that stress all the time!!! I’m speaking for myself here because watching sports on TV gets me SO stressed out. I don’t understand why some people find it restful. And that other crazy show . . . . .

Well no wonder! You’re mentally exhausted. My solution is to just stay in bed as long as possible. My blankets are warm and the dogs are all in!!
