Hey - we have to drive to games. He gets to sleep on the plane.

An article I read a while back said that Welmer takes at least a 2-hour nap every day.

With two kids under two, I'm lucky to get a 2-hour nap at night.....

He also gets to be screened at every airport, like having his shoes, and his underpants checked. Traveling with only little bottles of liquids. Man, he must have some kind of patience to wait in those airport security check lines several times a week. I hate flying once every few years. He must have the patience of Job.

The part I imagine is tough is working a night game and having to be on the first flight the next morning. I travel for a living (not as much as Welmer in-season, but I've averaged about 130K miles a year for the past 6 years) and if I *need* to be somewhere for an appointment the same day, I'm on the first flight in the morning.

So I would take a nap, too, if I were him, as well as get some cardio in during the afternoon.

It's not easy, but unlike us, this is his job.

Some guys I've worked with take theirs during the game.
