Pragmatic

In high school, a teacher who knew me and my family, referred to me as pragmatic. It wasn't a compliment.

It may have been related to my belief then that people protesting nuclear arms on a train track are kind of asking for a bloody accident.

I have been thinking about being pragmatic lately with regard to a sleep apnea mask and diet.

I would like two think these will solve an awful lot of problem: the mask solving my tiredness, inability to sleep, restless legs and my need to nap, which will give me back hours of my life. The diet will cure  all stomach woes and my lack of energy.

But what I really think is that those are pipe dreams.
