March 6, 2007 – Pillow Talk
And now for something completely different.
During last week’s distracted schedule, I was able to read Bill Bryson’s “A Short History of Nearly Everything.”  Even though there is little I can do to protect myself from the next asteroid impact or explosion of the Yellowstone caldera, there was one tidbit of information in the book upon which I could take swift and decisive action – getting new pillows.
Bryson reports that 10% of the weight of a 6-yr old pillow consists of dead skin, mites, and mite dung. That was a powerful call to action for me!

Dang, I shouldn’t have read this right before going to bed. Thanks.

This was one of the first audiobooks I listened to and I *loved* it!
