for many things. For getting up at 4 am since your body can still be fooled into thinking it’s 9.

For catching up on that [reading](/mining-the-backlist/) you meant to do years ago but could never quite get to.

For keeping abreast of the latest wonders of the [Disney world of multiculturalism](http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/liloandstitch/).[^1]

For remembering all the words to “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” not to mention the complete Eagles and Jimmy Buffet songbooks.

For getting a tan, getting in shape, getting back in touch with the joys of rum.

But not so good for writing. Nope, not so good at all.

[^1]: See, the cute little brown girl thinks she’s adopted a dog, but he’s actually an *alien.* An *evil* alien. Get it?
