Hollis Mazzocchi

At fifty-two, Hollis Mazzocchi first met nap accounting while working ski patrol and discovered that a pleasant afternoon doze could be turned into a disputed total before the boots were off, a grievance that still sharpens every assignment. Hollis now holds a grudge against anyone who calls a nap wasted time unless it has been counted, compared, and defended against the night's sleep, and writes from the uneasy border between feeling restored and proving it.
