I did try...he's in zombie land. Somehow, he woke up to turn the TV down, yet still on.
I guess he's just tired. Though I don't know why. He got up at 8:30, sat around, went to work at 11, got home at 5:30, and has been asleep since about 6:30.
Maybe I'll wake him up early for Cracker Barrell in the morning!
