Still groggy from long hours sleepless. Also, babbling quite a bit, but I feel good. I have scheduled 8 hours of sleep for tonight instead of my usual 5 to 6 hours.
Life goes on regardless of amount of sleep

Thanks for all the hard work of the 33/40 crews. I'm a weather junkie and that made watching yesterday's coverage fun.
