There are lots of things I like doing. I'll read [almost*] anything and enjoy it. I like palying some computer games. I enjoy doing almost anything with my wife.
I enjoy juggling and walking. I like drinking scotch with friends (or alone).
Except for the scotch (and probably the juggling) I think I'm like most folks.
But one of my favorite things to do is sleep.
I like napping between naps. I like getting up, showering, and going back to bed. I like falling asleep while watching TV or reading.
I like napping with daughters and wives. I like after a family lunch finding a bed and knowing that everyone else is looking to curl up in the sun too.
I do like sleeping in the sun and with all the blinds shut tightly.
I'll nap on sunny days to escape teh heat and on cloudy days with the hope of rain.
I enjoy the process of falling asleep. Sometimes I'll pick a spot on my foot and try to fire off synapse all the way to my face in a continuos line. I like counting backwards from two-hundred. Sometimes I'll add numbers in patterns until I fall asleep. I like waking up and not knowing where I am and then falling asleep not knowing.
I like napping in my car or waiting in line.
Some people think sleeping is not doing something. I strongly disagree. Napping is a skill and a joy. Napping is my friend.
