I have to be up at 3am for work. So bed early. Wifey sadly has taken to watching Fox News Lite (aka NewsNation) for Cuomo and somehow tolerates the others (ex Fox News "hosts" ) being on (probably cos she's actually asleep by the time Cuomo is finished). To counter this I have white noise playing in my Bluetooth sleep mask. That man doesn't stand a chance.
