I had this dream where it was a Friday or Saturday night and I was hanging out with some MSAers my age and younger along with, for some reason, Paul Zee-Cheng. Paul and I were unfolding this giant chess mat over on the IM fields so we could play giant human checkers. For some reason, I just knew I had to hurry up so I could get somewhere, and at one point I looked at my or someone else's watch (I don't have a wristwatch here with me in real life) and realized it was about 1 a.m. I'd told them a minute before that, "Oh, I'd probably better get going, you know, I need to sleep for awhile before this newspaper training session," and they were disappointed that I was leaving. So when I heard that it was 1 a.m. already, I said I'd just stay there and stay up, since the training session was at 2 a.m....
