If you're like me, you wonder how people on the east coast go to bed after the 11 o'clock news and still get to work by 8 or 9AM, yet aren't more tired than those of us who live in the Central Time Zone who go to bed after the 10 o'clock news. And when there's a major sporting event on TV the night before, like the NCAA championship last Monday, and the game goes into overtime, those east coasters are hitting the sack near midnight, yet they still get up for work on time the next day. (The flip side is the west coasters, who have their Super Bowls and World Series games end by 8 or 9PM, leaving them plenty of time to get to bed. Although they eat dinner at 8PM on the west coast, so you see how that stuff makes me wonder?)

Like me, you may also have other burning questions, like why hasn't the world run out of rice yet, or where do robins hang out in the winter, or why does your beard grow back, every single day, yet your hair loss is forever?

I also stay awake at night asking myself how the Shuttle can be so big and its wheels can be so small. Stuff like that. Luckily for me, I'm a man, so I only stay awake about 4 minutes with my questions, and even then I forget I ever asked them in the morning. I'm good to go the next day, until I think of another stupid question as I watch the man sleep on the train on my way to work.
