On Saturday, while we were watching Duke beat GW and I was trying not to swear around Eli while the server melted down, I noticed a coping mechanism/good idea that Stephen and Misty use with Eli: when he’s all cranky, they put him down for a nap and let him come back out whenever he’s ready to be awake again.

Boy, could I use one of those stop-the-crankiness naps right about now. [And no, this isn't me wishing for polyphasic sleep: like Buckminster Fuller, I'd run into issues with my "schedule conflict[ing] with that of [my] business associates, who insisted on sleeping like other men.” Feh. Silly monophasic sleepers!]
