Picnic at Purdue

I recently heard Bobby Knight's somewhat embarrasing halftime tirade to his team during a game some years ago in which they were evidently not doing well. It had so many wonderfully quoteable lines, I thought it just had to be a song so...

Purdue

BTW, the music is by Buckethead, and the words, obviously are by Bobby Knight.

Sleep elusive...

I've been having some problems falling asleep lately. Not every night, but about every 3rd night, two maybe three nights a month. It's really starting to become a problem. Every time it happens I go to bed the next few nights worrying that it will happen again, which of course, makes it even more likely to happen. Then it just goes away for a few weeks until one night, with no warning or any discernible reason, I go to bed and lay there for 2-4 hours until I drift off into a light nap from which I wake frequently, and then it's time to get up and start the day. On a normal night I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes. I've tried sleeping on the couch (trying to sleep, anyway), trying to sleep with the TV on, reading, warm milk, earplugs, and I don't know what else. Nothing seems to put me out. Tonight it's lasting a bit longer than normal, I'm approaching the 4 hour mark here. And I'm supposed to be at work early tomorrow to cover for somebody else. I should be in top form. Right now it's 3:33 and I have to be at work at 9. I don't really do well when I get less than 6 hours of normal sleep, these nights really make me useless the following day. Ah, jeez. Guess I better go lay back down and see if I can't nod off for a few minutes.
