Word search of the Day

Sleep

I did check this word prompted by the last post. I included the word, as I suspected, about 40 times in 2009 when my Red Plan battle was coming to a dreadful end. The year before it was not yet a serious issue. I think I was still finding time to swim four or five days a week in 2008.

I was surprised to see that in 2006 when I was running against Jim Oberstar and researching the book at the Minnesota Historical Society I also mentioned “sleep” a good twenty times. In 2007 and 2008 the word makes few appearances. In the past two years its been mentioned about 20 times per year. That probably represents habit more than anything else. It will be interesting to see how often it turns up in 2012 when the year comes to and end.
