Note to Self:

Green tea after 6PM and pre-bedtime Kerouac (reading Dharma Bums) induces restless sleep filled with random scenes like

• A boat chase culminating with a death-defying leap to take down a would-be assassin
• Crawling under train seats and calling out to my missing shoe
• Dancing on a Santa Barbara beach next to a glowing conch shell emitting sitar music
• Precariously riding a heavily-laden -- and lugubrious -- donkey sidesaddle on a narrow ledge in the Himalayas

Exhausted.
