good humor zone, also known as REM

[gurdonark]

On three hours' sleep one simply doesn't have the energy to feel badly.
I am amazed at how much I got done yesterday, but how very much I have to do. Last night I read once again Ms. Read's "Village School", the first in a series of novels about a provincial English village school teacher in a two room 40 student school. I suspect, somehow, the retreat into literature is a more effective retreat than actually being a rural school teacher, so perhaps the universe is fair after all.

But now I'm back to work the phones!
