Last night I had a shot of whiskey and a sleeping pill on my desk. I realized eventually I shouldn't swallow one with the other. I picked the sleeping pill, for long-term jetlag fighting effects. The more I sleep the better for all involved. And so I spilled the whiskey all over my desk. To avoid temptation?

Tonight, my cold is bad again. Something about the descent into sleep, laying flat, it stirs my throat. So I'll drink whiskey tonight. Nature's cough suppressant. Fewer side effects than the candy liquid stuff. But no sleeping pills. Not together. I'm learning some good sense!
