So tired...

Have not been getting enough sleep. I feel like I could sleep for days. Have begun shopping for a new mattress, which should help with the rest thing. Recommendations of stores or brands are welcome.

In other news, 60% of black kids in the U.S. can't swim and they suffer a much higher rate of drowning than white kids.

Uh, if anyone knows someone with black kids who don't know how to swim I'd be happy to give free lessons. I nearly drowned when I was a kid, but I have always loved swimming. I believe it would be best if every child were taught how to swim. I wonder how many public swimming pools there are in Detroit, compared to other cities, all of a sudden...

Might you be willing to teach a white grown up how to swim? I sort of learned when I was younger, but definitely wouldn't want to count on my own abilities to save me.

Sure, I'd be happy to.
