Not a Morning Person
I am not a morning person. This fact is usually well-concealed by the fact that I am married to someone who is also not a morning person. We don't try to have long conversations before 8 a.m. In a perfect world I wouldn't even be awake before 8 a.m.
On a recent family vacation, I realized that not everyone shares my disdain for pre-coffee conversation. Children under the age of 11, for instance, seem to have an abundance of energy in the early morning hours. I don't think I was ever an early riser. My fondest memories of adolescence are of sleeping.
This morning, I was awake early to listen to Dan speak on KFOG radio. For someone who usually eats his cereal reading a book, so he won't have to talk--he did amazingly well. Maybe it was the high-octane Peet's he brewed up, but he had everyone in the studio cracking up.
Thankfully, his next speaking gigs are in the evening.
