who was the first dude to figure that out, that it's possible to even do?
Well, it's an inventive way of using a lever. I can kinda see it. Weird what sticks as a sport though, isn't it?
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I got about four hours of sleep last night. I was ready to go to sleep last night around 9:00, but then I got a call from work saying that a server had crashed. I fixed it, but then I was too wired to go to sleep.
I'm at work now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is sucky Tom. I also got 4 hours, but at least I can pretend I might still get more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, you guys! I recommend more than 4 hours of sleep.
What I want to know, though, is who first thought this up?
I feel the same way about the butterfly stroke in swimming.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I got 5 hours plus a wee bit of snoozing. Still not near enough.

I spent 2:20-4:30 in bed with a 2 year old who wouldn't fall asleep. He would be almost asleep (and me too), then would shift and press his sweaty face into mine. Every 10-15 minutes, for two hours.
The butterfly still completely boggles me. I can't imagine how it works; I can't imagine doing it.

“Not dead yet!”
Back in the 70s there was a show called Superstars where athletes from different sports competed against each other
Oh man, hadn't thought of that show in FOREVER.
And I'm definitely

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I can't imagine how it works; I can't imagine doing it.
It's totally fun, and once you get it down it's easily the most natural feeling stroke - like you're really working with the water rather than fighting it.

That sounds unfun. I didn't sleep much, either-- I was up far to late chatting with a very old friend on Facebook, and then couldn't sleep, and then spent from about 4 am - 5:30 with a cat butt on my face and hind legs trying to choke me. I can't understand why she won't lay the other way around!

That's really interesting to me, because it's not how I imagine it at all!
My "good" news for the day is that my 2pm meeting got moved to 4, so I don't have to skip out of my 10-3 meeting early. The 10-3 meeting (with lunch break) is still not good news.
