My boss’ nearly two year old son hates sleeping. Seems to think he’s missing out on stuff when asleep so when his babysitter tried to put him in bed a few days ago as he was so tired he could barely stand with the admonition, “You have to sleep!” he replied, “NO SLEEP…HAVE FUN!”

A friend thought that it showed a remarkable sense of mortality. “I’m gonna die sometime and I got no time for sleep!”

I like to think that he’s just a wise sage here to teach the people.

So I’ve adopted that as a kind of motto and when I’m feeling a little out of sorts I repeat it as a mantra.

I haven’t slept in a week and the elves are still dancing! Woohoo!

The actual image is of a sign made for a play area for kids in the new restaurant in case anyone was wondering. And that silver thing on his head is a scoop light reflector. He really liked my film/photography gear.
