Prelude to a post

I am not crazy, or at least that kind of crazy.

A post is on the way, though maybe not for a day or two. Maybe not at all if I decide you all will think I’m nuts. That’s never stopped me much before, but in the past I was at least sleeping enough to make it sound like I was joking.

Anyway, I shot this little picture today while I was confronting my own mounting mini-insanity. I’ll attribute both the impending institutional commitment and the significance to this picture to my on-going off-and-on relationship with insomnia. And, yes, I’m being mildly hyperbolic. I don’t foresee myself going off the deep end, at least not this particular deep end.

As 2009 is the year of capital O optimism, I’m fairly confident I’ll crack this little period of sleeplessness with my usual nothing-is-a-real problem attitude. In the meantime, I hope you’ll excuse me while I happily avoid too many references to the 1980s movie Dreamscape and anything involving Seattle.

And if I fail in any of these goals, you will at least know I tried.
