Tonight begins my two-week sojourn; we’re in Ithaca until Tuesday, back in NYC living it up till Friday, and then I’m in San Francisco from the 4th to the 11th for WWDC. I’ll be online a bunch but not quite as accessible – hope you all stay well.

The Cat Is Stuck In Popcorn
Back in February, I detailed one of my few recurring health problems – bloody noses – shortly after I had it fixed. I wrote at the time that I had only two slightly bizarre health problems, and was otherwise normal.
I’ve been reminded of a third after events of last night; a health problem that I am not consciously aware of until it’s too late.
You see, my friends, apparently I talk in my sleep, in a somewhat hilarious manner.
My sister told me once long ago that one time when she was coming upstairs, she heard me repeating “TACO….TACO!!!!” in my sleep. I shrugged – and started sleeping with the door closed.
This isn’t a frequent thing – I’m not babbling every night, as far as I know. Then again, maybe I am and I just don’t wake up Katie half the time. After getting married, I do have someone who has to put up with me next to her each night.
Katie has occasionally mentioned that I’ll wake her up with some babbling, and annoyingly I seem to know how to shake her arm to wake her up while I’m asleep; one time while we lived in Ithaca, I woke her feverishly claiming that “the Chinese were coming”. This becomes problematic because when she starts shouting “WHAT?!” at me, I wake up – and my brain is fully in the context of yes, Kate, the Chinese are coming, yet I have no idea why or what it means or anything. So I sit there, wide awake, trying to explain what exactly I mean, only to inevitably get exasperated and tell her to just forget it.
Last night, I apparently shook Katie awake and uttered the words that will now haunt me forever:
THE CAT IS STUCK IN POPCORN.
Katie’s retelling of this to me while I was on the phone with her this morning:
You shook me awake really hard, and your eyes were wide open, and you looked so scared, and just kept telling me, “THE CAT IS STUCK IN POPCORN.” I looked at the cat, and he was looking at me as if to say, “I don’t know what the HELL he’s talking about.”
So, needless to say – if you want hilarity, just hang out with me when I’m asleep. I am apparently a freaky laugh riot.
