Pre-dawn disturbance...
It's not unusual to wake up in the middle of the night to drain the bladder. The hour, 3 A.M., was a bit earlier than usual but I'd fallen asleep earlier so I thought nothing of it. What was unusual was my inability to go back to sleep right away; so I turned on the TV.
Unlovely Rita with the husky voice was still on MSNBC talking about the latest mining disaster. She said something about the one dead body so I figured that everything would be just as it was when I fell asleep, shortly after they announced that the other 12 miners had been found alive. I was playing with the numbers in my mind - unlucky 13, 12 disciples and Jesus, the 13th died when I heard the throaty voice almost crack as she explained that they had just been notified that there had been a terrible mistake, there was but one survivor. The unfortunate failure to communicate would have been understandable had it not taken them over two hours to correct the mistake.
The news was not what I needed to get back to sleep so I clicked down the channels until I saw Billy Crystal's face, it was his latter day face in Analyze That; I was soon sleeping again.
