Yes, yes, yes! I have trouble sleeping these days as someone who fell asleep (and stayed asleep) as soon as my head hit the pillow, I can no longer sleep through the night. As for a book suggestion, if you need a break from the heavy topics of the day I recommend Paul Begala’s “You’re Fired”. It is funny and filled with some excellent suggestions for getting rid of this President.

My father in law was also in Moscow at the time controlling communications at the French Embassy. He spoke often of their enforced isolation from any contact with soviet life.
