[This is a post I started last summer, I guess, before we had OLC.]

I’ve had a couple of interesting conversations with MFH lately, when I thought he was awake and he really wasn’t. For example, yesterday he came home from work a little early with a migraine, and took a nap. A while later:

Me: [seeing that his eyes are open] Hey, how’s it going?

MFH: How’s it going?

Me: I asked you first.

MFH: [doesn’t really answer]

Me: Do you feel up to going to vote, or should I go by myself?

MFH: [pause] It’s easy, you just have to turn the gauges so they’re all the same way… [makes dial-turning gesture; eyes still open]

Me: [pause; bemused] I don’t understand.

MFH: When the baby comes…. [rolls over in mid-sentence, eyes closed, and ceases to move]

Me: [wait for a minute for him to finish the sentence; give up; go by myself to vote]

He did not remember any of this when I asked him about it later. There was another episode that I don’t remember clearly now, something about me asking him in the middle of the night if he was awake, and he said he was, but really he wasn’t.
