Will Write For Chocolate has been updated! Column topic: Writers and RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) Prevention. I enjoyed seeing two of our nieces in plays earlier this week: one was Cinderella in her class Cinderella play (which was performed entirely in French!) and the other was the Snow Queen in a two-evening production of The Snow Queen by the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. Both were fantastic. Holy cow, these girls are growing up so quickly. I know this is a cliché, but it's SO TRUE! My older niece had to wear make-up for her part as the Snow Queen, and it changed her appearance so much that I suddenly had a glimpse of what she might look like as a teenager. These "glimpses" are happening frequently, and I'm well aware that one of these days I'm going to wake up and she WILL be a teenager.  Thanks so much to those of you who offered suggestions and help for finding the Japanese crackers which have so captured Jeff's gustatorial heart. It looks like my friend Ray has found them in a Japanese food shop near his work! The photo above is one I -should- have posted with the other one...I hadn't realized that Jeff sent me the two photos. The white bits are sprinkles of sugar on top of the crackers. Wasn't feeling that great yesterday, so decided not to go to the Tranzac. :-( Main reason: accumulated lack of sleep. How I envy those of you who are able to get by on 6 hours of sleep a night or less on a regular basis! I've heard that as people get older, you need less sleep. I can't wait for this to happen to me! But then I checked this article on sleep, which says that the only reason seniors sleep less is because they experience more insomnia problems. It also states in the article: "If you routinely fall asleep within 5 minutes of lying down, you probably have severe sleep deprivation or a sleep disorder." Hm...this definitely describes me, but I've been told this is just a myth. Anyone out there know the real scoop? Or a reliable sleep info resource? Also, how many hours of sleep do YOU need? And how long does it take for you to fall asleep? 
up into a more polished illustration at some point.
