Cheers to your new knees and feel better soon! A pencil sharpener? A local high school maybe was going out of business and they had a liquidation sale? I hope you guys sent thank you notes. Night shift. Oy. I did that on and off for years but had to stop in my 40s. I never mastered the art of sleeping for any consecutive number of hours during the day. And three hours of sleep wasn't cutting it. During the end of my latest night shift tenure three years ago I was so sick and half blind from fatigue I was peeing blood. My hat is off and I bow deeply and reverently to anyone over 35 who can do the 11 to 7 thing.
