Robin music. If you live anywhere around trees & lawns in New Jersey, in March & early April somewhere in the vicinity hours before sunrise you hear a robin run through the "Song" a few times & then quiet down until first light. On standard time this could be as early as 2 am.

I take Ambien, usually in a low 5 mg dose, the effect may be more psychological at this point. Now the FDA is requiring new warnings on the class known as "sedative-hypnotics" about the "possibility of sleep-driving & other less dangerous complex sleep-related behaviors — making phone calls, fixing and eating food, and having sex while still asleep." I'd usually wake up after a few hours on the full 10 mg dose. But it also affected my eyesight in a strange hallucinatory way, although my thinking processes were alright. I enjoyed playing solitaire as the Ambien kicked in & the cards became fuzzy & changed color. Any ice cream or strawberry banana yogurt I ate under the influence of Ambien was while I was in a semi-conscious trance state, I was aware of what I doing but was unable to stop myself, so it was hardly different from an ordinary late night craving. I've always enjoyed half-asleep sex, it's oozy & erotic & unusual things can happen in an unrepressed condition. Sleeping through sex & not remembering anything is a waste. It'd also be a downer if the other participant prefers when you're asleep.

A quote to amuse & annoy The Contrarian on the eve of the NCAA Tournament:

"It is exciting to think that our diocese will include what will someday become the Notre Dame of the South."
-His Excellency Most Rev. John J. Nevins, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Venice FL, on Ave Maria University (founded 2003 by crappy pizza billionaire Tom Monaghan)
