It's 1:00AM - I have slept so very little this week and I expect not to sleep tonight. I have a Wednesday deadline b/c I'm leaving for a well deserved vacation. And by then I have to:
1) Finish a giant proposal by Friday
2) Take my grandfather grocery shopping Friday
3) Play Bocce w/ said grandfather on Friday
4) Find a place that rents 40' ladders by Friday
5) Rent and store said 40' ladder (NOT easy to do in a center-city rowhouse)
6) Tar and re-seal my roof on Saturday and Sunday
7) Finish building the deck in my back-yard Sun-Wednesday
8) Pack (by Wednesday)
9) And, maybe if I'm lucky, sleep (yeah,right)
This proposal is kicking my ass. Who says we have tons of free time in academia?

Worst part about this is I have a brand new Ducati and can't go ride.
