False Advertising.  There's not enough green on the mountain for me.

I used to be able to touch the tip of my index finger to the back of my hand

We had a neighbour who always called his wife Greta, although she was Norwegian and her name was Grete. They are both dead now.

I sleep better during the day than I do at night, but I'm not a night owl. I can't stay up really late. I always fall asleep :laugh:

I have always been like this also,  naps during the day are always so restful it seems like they count as double the time

There was a time (when I was 20-25 y/o) I could play the piano for sometimes a couple of hours. Nowadays I 'touch' my piano only once a week or so (for 10-15 minutes maybe). It's fartin' shame I lack the inspiration I had back then this day and age.

I do not sleep very well in motels and will probably sleep very little tonight.

My sympathies. Hotels (and motels) are no fun.

I like figuring out how do do things alone that people think can't be done without help.  Yesterday I put a 350lbs machine in my van alone.

I sleep very well in hotels, motels, trains, inns, etc.

I don't really know.  What I do recall is telling myself before I started on my 2 trips to Europe was that I was NOT going to have any trouble sleeping on the train.  I also spent quite a few months working 10 hour days away from home and knew I had to be alert in order to get to work for 7 a.m., so I "knew" I had to fall asleep fast.

Actually I fall asleep quicker away from home than I do at home.
