The Snooze Man

Well, here I go. It's now official that I have been coerced and pressured into doing this blog page for ya'll so here's hoping that I can somehow deliver something somewhat coherent, interesting, & maybe even humorous at times.

I know you've heard stories before of the night & times of the Snooze Man. So, last night, after having taken his nightly dose of sleepy-time pills, he laid himself down to rest for the evening. After the sandman hit him hard, I decided to venture in to check on him about 15 minutes later. It looked like he had sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled the pillow to him & laid down right there. He was deeply dreaming in what I'm sure was close to never-neverland, or wherever he goes when in slumber, & I decided to see what reaction I might or might not get from the heavy-lidded one. We have a fan light in our room that has a light switch which goes up & down in grades of low to bright light. So, I grasped the switch & slowly made the light go from low on up to really bright at a slow rate of speed & then slowly down again. I did this about 6 or 7 times until I could see that there was literally NO reaction whatsoever from the zonked-out one! I felt it was time to get some kind of response out of him, so I went right over to the bed, sat down a little forcefully right next to him, and started to initiate a conversation from him. He aroused slightly from sleep, enough for me to ask him if he even noticed that I had been messing with the lights. Now mind you, his head was directly under the lights and he didn' t flinch with his eyes, not even once. He said he didn't see the lights changing, but then he responded by saying that he had been going up to heaven, & back, up to heaven, & back, moving his hand & arm up & down as he was saying this. I asked him if it was nice up in heaven, and he said, "No, not really, but there sure is a lot of room up there!!" Wow, maybe that means we all still have a chance, huh?!

These instances don't happen every time he pops the you-know-whats, but when he does, it's sure to put a smile on my face or make me laugh. Now, we have to all be very discreet about my sharing these very special moments in the Snooze Man's life or I could be in real trouble, ya' know. Thanks for you cooperation in this matter!
