Just A Total Lack Of Energy

Brian is trying to stay awake long enough to write this blog.

By Brian Allen

 Ever have one of those days when you are just lacking energy and as a result, everything else goes to the wayside? It's hard to concentrate and focus. It puts you into just a cranky and foul mood? I am in that situation today.

 For no real apparent reason, both Austin and Cameron decided to have fitful ngihts of sleep. Affecting me more than my wife because I usually get up with boys at night. I figure she is with them all the time during the day, I can try and step in at night to help her get some sleep.

 Neither boy is sick. Thank goodness. But neither one really slept well or slept hard. Usually Austin is like a brick. He falls asleep and then he stays asleep. You can pick him up, move him around, juggle him with a tennis ball and a blender....and he won't wake up. He will sleep through tornado sirens if given the chance. Cameron, who had been having trouble sleeping, has lately done a beautiful job of falling asleep and staying asleep. But not last night. It gave me the chance to sit up and watch some bad overnight television. No "Yo Gabba Gabba" (thank goodness) but a lot of other weird things, including:

 (1) An informercial for exercise equipment. Really, if I don't exercise now, is an infomercial going to get me in the mood?
 (2) Some weird show on "Cartoon Network". I swear, I would love to know the color of the sky in their world.
 (3) Reno 911. OK, it's weird but I like to watch it every once in a while. The humor is so off-beat that it really catches my attention.

 Time to respond to some comments and e-mails you have left for me:

 JP: Thank you for your comment on Michelle Parker. She was a true friend and an awfully nice person.
 Bonnie & Billy: Your thoughts on JP Skelly are right on the target and appreciated.
 J-Girl: I hear your thouhts on stations interrupting programming for severe weather. Having said that, it's severe weather! We don't interrupt for the heck of it. We want to keep you, and everyone, safe!
 MJ: Thanks for understanding our severe weather policy.
 Huron: Really? I should watch "Dancing With The Stars"? Maybe I'll give it a try.

 Quote Of The Day: "People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one." Leo. J Burke

 This Day In History: The German airship "Hindenburg" blew up and burst into flames in Lakehurst, New Jersey on this date, May 6th, 1937.
