I should be asleep right now. I fell asleep at around 10:45, which is really, really early for me, then woke up a half an hour later, talked with my wife for a bit, which was really nice, and haven't been able to get back to sleep. I read a bunch more of Steinbeck's Diary of a Novel, or whatever it's called. It's really fascinating. It's a collection of the letters he wrote to his friend each day as his warm-up for writing East of Eden, which is, ironically, the only Steinbeck book I haven't read. I will once I finish this, though. And by then the new Harry Potter should be out, so I have all kinds of good reads to look forward to.
I'd started sleeping better right before Ella was born. I was finally diagnosed as an insomniac and given some medication to help me sleep. I went from getting three or four hours a night, and then crashing for a solid day once or twice a month, to sleeping seven or eight hours and working out in the mornings. That stuff makes me sleep really hard, though, and I need to be able to wake up for feedings and diaper changings and the like, so I stopped taking it. Blah, blah, this must be incredibly boring, but hey, it's the truth.
I picked up my new PedalTrain pedal board this morning, and started putting it together. I'll finish it up tomorrow, and I'm taking a few pictures, because a number of people have asked me different questions about my set-ups. I'll send Geof an e-mail to figure out how to put pictures on here once I've got it done. Then I'll get started on the big one, which will be a much bigger project.
Well, I'm going to go crawl back in bed and see if I can luck out and crash. Oh, and Andy P's show the other night was a lot of fun, by the way. I am the worst bass player in the world, but I haven't had that much fun playing music in quite a while. Good friends, good songs, good times.... Nighty night.

Well, I'm right there with ya. I went to bed at like 10:00. It's 4 in the morning, and I'm wide awake, listening to Amos Lee.
