I’m with you, brother. Someone broke it down for me a few years ago; “You served in the infantry in two wars. Why would you expect to sleep well?” I use a white noise machine bedside and have used a weighted blanket (fifteen pounds) when needed. The weighted blanket keeps you in place if you wake with a start, and makes it much easier to go back to sleep. No inositol yet...
Yes JP, I forgot to mention white noise. I have a HomePod Mini on my nightstand. After fussing with it for awhile, I got it to play a steady rainfall noise. Helps a lot. The weighted blanket idea sounds great. I will look for one and try it. Where did you get yours?
If I listen to the Audible version of Walter Isaacson’s biography of Einstein I’m asleep within 5 minutes. I like Isaacson but was terrible at most Science classes.
I read your father in laws obituary. He was an amazing human being. I want to alert you to the IRS backlog! An aunt of mine passed away in October of 2020 from cancer. She had started her own company in IT, had her own foundation, and was very generous in her philanthropy. It’s been 1,015 days since her death on October 6, 2020. The IRS has still NOT signed off on the Estate Tax Return☹️
Thanks Linda. We shall be on guard for any problems. One of my favorite Emmett lines came when he was asked by his golf-loving colleagues whether he played the game. "No," he replied. "I run marathons."

My wife found it at Tuesday Morning or one of those bargain stores for something like thirty bucks. Don't pay full price...

Hah! Would Walter's bio of Steve Jobs be any less soporific?
