I'm up late, pursuing pleasure.

I love staying up late at night. Until I’m tired. Because I like to feel tired. Because that’s the way I’m supposed to feel at the end of the day. Causes me to relax. And fall asleep. And that’s one of the pleasures of life. Dozing off. Comfortably. If I’m not tired, I write or read or listen to music. Or go for a walk. And since I’m retired, I don’t have to wake at a particular hour to go to a job. But that doesn’t stop me from writing. Every day. More than when I was employed as a writer. I never get tired of writing. Because it’s pleasure. Maybe that’s why I stay up so late. I’m pursuing pleasure. –Jim Broede
