The problem I'm having is that I have to push myself to stay awake to watch the Angels games from the West Coast - they often don't end until 1:30 AM here. After pushing myself to stay awake, it often proves difficult to fall asleep.<br /><br />The easy solution is also the most obvious: just don't watch the baseball games. But that's as feasible as telling you not to go for a ride tomorrow; it's such a part of what I am that I cannot conceive of my life without baseball. And at this particular point, a new city with no friends other than Liz, 3000 miles from home, the Angels are perhaps the one thing keeping me sane. <br /><br />So to sleep last night I tried counting sheep. I have never enjoyed that. Then I ran through the starting lineups of the AL West. Still awake. For some reason - well, I just remembered the reason, I saw it on <i>30 Rock</i> last night - I started reciting the lyrics in my head to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire." I was asleep before I finished the first verse.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.com
