"You can sleep when you get home"

Was the advice offered by Ron Kirk to the rest of the Texas delegation during one of our weekly pre-convention conference calls. I followed his advice. I don't think that I went to sleep prior to 2 AM on any night and still made it down for breakfast each morning at 7am or so. On the last day, I did fall asleep on the bus from the convention center to Invesco Field. I really needed that power nap! The last night of convention we didn't get back to the hotel until after 2am. I still needed to pack and take a quick shower. It was probably 3:20 am when the head hit the pillow and 4:40 am when the wake up call came in so that I could catch a 5am shuttle to the airport. Upon landing at DFW, I caught a cab and went into work. Surprisingly, I made it until 5. It still must be all of that adrenaline. O BAM A OBAMA!
