Can I suggest you take the train? There is an Amtrak route from LA right up the coast. It takes a bit longer; but you can get up and move around easily, you have lots of leg room, and (I believe) that route has on-board wifi. It's also a bit better environmentally than air travel.

two hundred words before six in the morning
When the alarm went off at 5am, I wasn't sure where I was. I mean, I knew I was in bed, but I was on the wrong side of the bed, and why was I awake when it's still dark outside? After a few seconds, my brain finished booting up and I remembered that I am in Vancouver, I sleep on the wrong side o...
My wife has one from when she was a kid:
Schlorbisch (sp?)
The dried ketchup ring that remains when you take the lid off the bottle.

what are words for?
Sniglets, for those of you who are too young to know the difference between 33 and 45 is a lot more than just 12, were "words that should be in the dictionary, but aren't." They were part of this really funny -- and very 80s -- show on HBO called Not (Necessarily) the News, which I just loved whe...

I have to disagree with you silver wolf. The active ingredients are chamomile and valerian. Valerian may have some impact on melatonin levels in the body though.

all that i ever wanted was a chance to catch my breath
Vegas Time currently owns me; no matter how hard I try, I am awake at 3 in the morning every single day. Last night, I had dinner with my friends, then turned down an offer of cigars, scotch, and playing poker to go back to my hotel room and get in bed relatively early. I was so proud of myself...

Forget the melatonin Wil. Get some Celestial Seasonings "Sleepy Time Extra" tea. It works wonders.

Hi Wil:
The moon is a wonderful sight in a small telescope or binoculars. But it's even better in crescent phase than when full. You get lots more contrast and shadows in the view. Jupiter is really nice right now too, toward the SE in the evening.

thought for a monday morning
People always advise their friends and family to get up and watch the sunrise. That's a great idea, because experiencing the world early in the morning when she's waking up can be a magical and inspiring experience, but don't neglect the full moon. You get 365 chances each year to get up and wat...
