Insomnia

2:30 AM. The traffic has mostly died away on State Street, but there remains sporadic honking of car horns, unmuffled growling of motorcycles, shrieking of sirens, and shouting from over exuberant drunks down below. I wonder if that is why I am awake?

Mildred Pierce starring Joan Crawford just started playing on television. I fear I will be awake until the end of that.
