Here I am in Atlanta, to work at Morehouse College, Emory University and Georgia State. Staying at the downtown Hilton Garden Inn. Just recovering from last night's attempt to sleep. Went to bed at 11ish and slept soundly until 12:23 when I discovered that while sleeping on the left side, I would occassionally get too warm/uncomforfable and attempt to roll to the other side of the bed. That's when I discovered there was kind of a wall and hill in the center of the bed. This may sound like a small inconvenience, but if Wilbur and Orville used a similar slope to launch their first airplane the aircraft industry would be years ahead of its present point and we could conceivably be living on Mars. I watched the digital clock until 3AM when I finally couldn't take it any longer and turned on the light and found a card with the title "In Room Comfort Guide". Lo and Behold I was on a Garden Sleep System bed that was providing me with a "Restorative Night's Sleep"! Yay! So I pumped up the right side and softened the left side. WooHoo! The results were similar to the bunny hill at [insert your favorite ski resort here]. I could get to the other side, but a rope tow would have helped.
Tonight I sleep on the other bed. I'll let you know................

A ha. A hahahahaha. Tee hee. Love it. I mean, I don't love that you were insanely uncomfortable, but I love the tales. And so easily accessible--welcome to the weblog world!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you dreamt and found yourself the starring as the giant in Gulliver's Travels who wandered into a nursery rhyme and was mistaken for the hill that Jack and Jill fell down.
Trust me. It makes much more sense in my head. As most things do.
