Aging brings problems, usually minor aggravations. I sleep well most of the time, but occasionally I get insomnia. When I am home, I don't worry much about it. I get up, turn on some music and go to work writing. Some of my best ideas come in the middle of the night. If I'm tired I take a nap during the day.
Getting insomnia when I'm on the road is not so good. Last night I never did get any sleep. I had workshop at the Pass Christian Public Library so I loaded up with caffeine and set out early. I drove down the Beach Road on the way there and took some photos for Gary who told me he wanted them on his 2014 calendar, the one I give him for Christmas.
I decided the day before that what a good beach picture required was something green.
I also photographed Pirate's Cove, where one procures shrimp Po-boys.
Finally, at the library I did a brief workshop on my life on the internet, about finding work through e-mail and research, self-publishing books, and writing blogs like this one.
I said good-bye to my friends at the wonderful Pass Christian library and started driving north. At Hattiesburg the insomnia caught up with me. I signed into this motel and at 3:00 pm climbed into bed for a brief nap. I woke up an hour ago.
One of the joys of this blog is that I can edit it in the morning. For now, it's back in bed to recuperate. No performances for another two days.
