Comment of the Week

You forgot one, Mark.

The 3.5 hour nap – Usually preceded by a half slab of ribs and a lazy Saturday morning. This is the “sweet spot” for those who have finished their household chores the day before and find themselves with nothing else to do for the remainder of the afternoon.
