THE INSOMNIAC BARRISTER FROM DALLAS COUNTY

Yet another restless night for the old jurist with hot sweats and body cramps waking him up every time sleep started to come.

"Just lie still," he told himself.

"It will be almost as good as sleep."

Light from a street lamp revealed the top of a night stand covered with court documents, a red letter version of Mary Baker Eddy's Science and Health and a tube of anti-itch cream.

Bob glanced at the clock to see how much sleep time he had left.  Morning was coming too fast.  

"Oh shit!  I can't eat anything," he told himself.

"I have another lab at the V.A."

He fingered his phone to check the blogs.  Juan was castigating him about his story on the Sorolas. Jim had pictures of downtown. Jerry was being Jerry.

He reached for the remote.  CNN had "BREAKING NEWS."  

"Donald Trump said 'no collusion" 18 times!" the news anchor said.

He turned it off.  

"Maybe I can get a quick power nap," he tried to convince himself.
