My goal for today is to stay up until my bedtime. That may sound unusual -- especially considering all those years I stayed up way past my bedtime. I've been so tired lately -- must be the weather -- that I've pooped out on the early side of 9 p.m. a couple of times this week.

And so, tonight, I hereby vow to force myself to stay awake -- eyes open and all -- until 10 p.m. Since I'm done with the Olympics, I guess this means I'll be reading a book.
