Excerpt

I awoke one Saturday morning at about 11 :30 a.m., much as many teenagers do after partying the night before. I went downstairs in hopes of finding something entertaining to watch on TV and started to flip through the channels. Channel after channel after channel--they were showing some part of a golf tournament. For about fifteen minutes, I watched a celebrity golf match and then I fell back asleep. Now, I had only been up for half an hour and I had fallen back to sleep again. What could have caused that? When I woke up, I started thinking about why I had felt so tired. Had I been still tired when I woke up or was it watching golf that had made me feel tired and sleepy? I came to the conclusion that it was the golf.
