PALM beginning

While it is not quite technically true that, as the Fifth Dimension once sang, "Last Night I Didn't Get to Sleep at All," it's close enough to indicate an inauspicious beginning to my big PALM adventure. I turned in early last night (8:00) and, like always, slept like a rock for the first few hours, But I woke about 11:30, and watched the Tigers lose their seventh consecutive game (a late night contest, as they were playing in San Diego). Around 2:00 I climbed back into bed, and then could NOT get back to sleep, as I watched the clock gradually edge past 3:00 and then 4:00, and finally I allowed myself to get up at 4:50. Doug indicated that people generally have trouble sleeping the first night of PALM. I'm sure I'll have no trouble whatsoever sleeping for at least the initial part of tonight.
