Difficulty sleeping

Hello all,

Last night I had a terrible time sleeping. I tossed and turned all night. Have you every not been able to turn your mind off? Have you ever just watched the clock turn minute after minute? That was me last night. I finally got up and took a sleeping pill at 2:00 to help me get some sleep. I just could not stop thinking about the past. Simple things kept coming to me. Most of them are all simple memories that blend in with life as it happens, but last night I could not shut them off.

Things like throwing the football around with dad on the North side of the house and showing dad how I learned to throw a split-finger fastball that day. I also thought about the countless hours we spent working on equipment getting it ready to get back out into the field or cleaning it up when it was time to be parked until next year. During these times we talked about lots of things, but most of the conversations were about girls ( why are they like they are??? ), cars, or math. I know, it sounds strange. I learned while working in the dirt than I did in a classroom.

Thanks dad.

I think that is what last night was all about. Remembering to say thanks to a wonderful dad.
