Charles Gibson and I Discuss Our Sketching
Charles Gibson, anchor of ABC Evening News, and I discussed our sketching.
In my dreams.
When you have sleep apnea, (I do) and you don’t use a CPAP (I do use one) you wake up 50-70 times every hour. Yeah, about once a second! Apeneaphobes miss out on dreaming, because they miss out on the deep dream-state sleep.
Even using a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) I hardly remember my dreams.
I remember this one. Have fun with the dream analysis.
Charlie Gibson and I were laying in bed, discussing some very important topic. He was referring to his notes and I was referring to mine.
I looked over and happen to notice that he had a sketch of himself. I commented that I also had a sketch of myself.
Except his sketch was much much better. It actually looked like him as he is now.
My self-portrait hasn’t changed since college:
I never had a cleft chin, I just always thought they were cool. I’ve always worn button down shirts and glasses with long hair. Fairly accurate – from college age through about age 35.
This is closer to what I look like now:
Chubby cheeks, lines through my face, still have hair I can comb – on my head, my back, my ears, my nose, my ass. Back, crack and sack hair!
I commented to Charlie, that as good as our sketches were, they couldn’t hold a candle to Katie’s. Katie is an artist. This is her avatar – not really a self-portrait, unless she is a LOLCat doing jazz hands.
We agreed Katie’s was best.
I rolled over on my stomach and planned on going to sleep. (Remember, this is a dream!) and as I rolled over, I thought “I feel sorry for Charlie because Walter Cronkite died.”
As I rolled over, I noticed there was another guy in bed with us. I was in between.
I then did my corporate office routine:
Awakened, Gottup and Peed.
It was 3:57. Like the gun.
Maybe I shouldn’t have gone to bed loaded.
Never had any weight to begin with. Lost 20 pounds after my recent surgery though. It’s comeback appearance is taking one hell of long time if you ask me.

@Kirk: at least you have that going for you – no apnea. Did you loose a lot of weight? (no duh?)

I like your sketch.
I have to use one of those “Breath Right” spring loaded bandages across my nose in order to keep from breathing through mouth all night. and I went for years thinking my nose was stuffed. And although I used to have sleep apnea (which went away as I got older despite the fact that the doctors say that can’t happen) I’ve always had insomnia which I think is somewhat better than having to use a CPAP.
Get all that? 🙂
