Where have all the night owls gone?

btw, I barely remember the LRB song.  Was it Glen Shorrock/Little River Band, or was it in the brief, unlamented Johnny Farnham/LRB period (redeemed only by the presence of Cold Chisel drummer Steven Prestwich).  Or am I becoming delerious?  

I think I took the antihistimine too close to my diabetes medication.

Time to go to bed.

I was in bed by 10 PM Friday night ... woke up at 3ish AM ... cold/sinus/whatever!, yuk ... took some over-the-counter med, had some garlic, drank a diet Coke, brewed some iced tea, got online, now it's a little past 5 AM my time, and I'm heading back to bed. Probably until lunch time! I love Saturdays!!

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!
i've already e-mailed thorns into the sides of a dozen state legislators, 2 coffees, & halfway thru mahler sym 1,...oh, don't forget the laundry...what else can i get into??

Too many tough questions!! ;-)  It's a KaZaa download... and I didn't write down the particulars...

I thought last night would be a "complete" night of sleep, but alas it was not.   :(   I went to bed at 1:00 and then was awake at 3:00, 5:00 and gave up trying at 7:00.  I should have come talked with my fellow insomniacs but I was trying my best to catch some  :zzzz: .  Next time, I will just get up and stop in here.   :D

Damaris (who really really really wants to sleep a full 5 or 6 hours - not even asking for 8)   :wave:

Top of the mairnin to all that are to be found here and to those that slumber on

Calm be you sleep as infant slumbers!
Pure as angel thoughts your dreams!
May ever joy this bright world nimbers
Shed o'er thee thier mingled beams!

Thomas Moore
Irish songwriter 1779-1852

Like me Granda, I am the early riser. And I remember with him saying this poem over my sleeping family when he and I would rise in the wee hours.  Today I say it over Sandi as she slumbers behind me in the bed, the breath whistling so softly on her lips, her face so innocent and angelical as she relaxes from the stress of the day. She looks like a wee colleen when she sleeps, so pure and shameless. Allow me to say it over all of you as well.

Just putting the finishing touches on today's sermon and as I see the sun beginning to peek in the window, I must go feed the birds with a special conversation with the parrot. He likes to wake up on my shoulder, so I bring him out and set him there. Then as I prepare their feeding I can hear his early morning mutterings. Of course if I do not , I will hear his strident early morning demands for his breakfast!!
Bunny will be waiting at the door and if I tarry and am late I will hear the inquisitive "Woof" out side the window. At times I wonder who is the master here!  

But then I realize the Master here is Christ Jesus and I am only given temporary stewardship of my furry feathered family here.

God Bless all and the response to "Top of the mairnin" is

"And the rest of the day to you!!"
 

Dia Dhuitt!!!

Vivaldi helps me sometimes, but when I'm really bad, like I have been lately, nothing helps.  I have the feeling tonight will be a long one, what with this bronchial whatever it is I'm fighting, which causes me to start coughing as soon as I fall asleep.  And if that doesn't happen, the whining noise in my chest wakes me up.

Then again, maybe being sick will help me sleep.  After all, I couldn't sleep when I was well. :help:

Sorry, this is why I shouldn't post on medication.

When I read the line the song "Where have all the flowers gone?" started playing in my mind.  I know Pete Seeger wrote the song, but it's being sung in my head by a group.  Peter, Paul & Mary, maybe?

That's okay.  Drug induced or not, I was duly impressed Marc by your significant knowledge of music and LRB in particular.

David:  Holst 1st Suite in Eb here earlier  (Chicago VII now...) How are you going to be functional at church in the morning?  I've explained to my bros/sis that I wouldn't do them much good if I did make the effort to attend services after staying up all night.  My brain turns to mush after about 9:00 a. m. the times I've tried... I'm not much of an encouragement or coherent participant in any form of worship/fellowship.  I'm in great shape (after a day's sleep) for the evening service!

humpfff!  weenies!  get up!

No overnight posts last night from this quarter.  Slept a full seven hours straight for the first time in at least a month.   :zzzz: Two months, when I stop and think about it.  Maybe because they finally let us know last night that they'll be announcing our layoffs next week (as the great American philosopher Thomas Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part).  I'll probably be spared, but who knows?  Somehow the announcement takes away some of the uncertainty. Been waiting for them to even give us a clue ever since United's bankruptcy filing.

WAKE UPPP!!!!!!  i awoke at 1:15 this morning.  got an ALTAN cd yesterday & i'm on my second listen.  
elite pre-dawn patrol is on the job.

Music that puts me to sleep would be music I do not care for or get emotionally involved with, so guess that would be something like M&M turned down to zero.[/quote]
bob:

berkshire record outlet will sell you all 7 sibelius symphonies plus tone poems in a box set for about $15.  unbelievable.
sanderling/berlin radio orch - really good.  'brilliant classics' label.

:music: Night Owls? :music:

The song I was thinking of was by The Little River Band.  70's.  I couldn't remember all the words so I just asked the question.  It could have been a 60's tune as well, but I don't know that one off the top of my head.
