My Epitaph Collection, cont.

I can see having this on my headstone. (Except that I won’t have a headstone.)

Wait! I’m not done yet!

I Miss 3 a.m.

If my body clock had its way, I would always stay up until 3am and sleep the morning away. But after years of jobs on “normal” schedules, and getting kids to school on time, I am no longer capable of sleeping until noon.  Given half a chance, I would be quite comfortable staying up until all hours except I know I am guaranteed to be miserable the next day — because no matter how late I go to bed, I’ll awaken at 7.  Seven ayem.  How can my natural schedule be half ruined and half the same?

My Epitaph Collection

I am a casual collector of potential epitaphs.  My current favorite happened by me during an email exchange at work:

Not without a few errors, but provocative nonetheless.

The original comment referred to a scholarly paper. Way too good to waste there!

 

Fear of Blogging

I’ve always been afraid to blog. It’s the novels that I need to write. Blogging takes time, but there is never enough time, so I could probably work that part of it out. But if I have limited quantities of writing energy then blogging will keep some book from getting written. Is this anticipatory hysteria or am I commencing on a blog doomed to dwindle? I’m interested in hearing your experience.
