• Follow-up: Sleep Deprivation and Increased Calorie Intake – Putting The Knowledge To Use

  

  What a crazy day!  I woke up at 1 AM to find my son had the chills and a high temperature.  Since he’s prone to seizures, we took him to the ER.  Four hours, a bunch of medicine and x-rays later, we were told he has pneumonia.  Not something that you want to hear, but…

Jake sniffed.  “Real actors prefer the stage.” “This actor prefers a paycheck.” “I can’t believe that show has a following.  People want mindless trash.” Smiling in that condescending way of his, he added,…
