The Number One Son Report

Jul. 24, 2007 - Take a Deeeeeeep Breath

This morning Number One Son announced, "I know why I'm always so tired and sleepy and can't think straight at work!  It's environmental hypoxia!"  What?????  Evidently that's the hot new topic among office denizens in his city: how many office buildings are not adequately ventilated and the indoor air quality gets bad.  "Seriously, mom, things get a lot better in the evenings when most of the employees leave!"  I don't know.  I think it could be the fact that he's getting about 5 hours of sleep at night, whatcha think?

Pretty good odds this is the English-language newspaper he read it in:

When we were in Asia in 2005, I did notice a surprising number of tall office buildings with windows open. Apparently there's a need for it.
