An afternoon siesta can help you and the grands

As I near my fourth birthday after turning 60 next month, the one thing I like to do is take an afternoon nap while I’m sitting in my recliner.

Those days are irregular during the spring because of the hours I keep at the office, covering meetings or heading out to take pictures at sporting events arriving home as the sun sets.

The end of the school year means a couple of early arrivals to the homestead and a “siesta” — an hour power nap. Depending on my work day, those “hour power naps” sometimes will turn into maybe a twohour deep sleep.
