I can’t stay awake.

I’ve been burning the candle at both ends for so many months that when finally left for a couple of hours without the option of direct pressure from the boss, I passed out, and no matter what kind of noise the other folks made, I couldn’t wake up. Opening my eyes was actually painful.

It’s kind of freaking me out.

This can’t be anything good.

I slept for hours and woke up around 4am and immediately started working. Why am I working this much? Why am I killing myself and ignoring my family so that when I finally take a couple of days for myself, I end up working the whole time?

I haven’t had a vacation since 2003, aside from a few tense days in Jackson Hole right before the USDC fired me in 2006.

So, anyway, I’m in Denver, and I keep hearing about all the cool shit going on.
