Good Morning Here’s the News

February 15, 2008 · 18 Comments

There are very few benefits to waking up at 5:30, getting dressed for the pool, driving 11 minutes to the pool, finding that the pool is not open, and driving home. You can probably figure that out for yourself. But what you may not know is that there are certain advantages. Here are five:

  • The sunrise today was stunning. Dark purples and pinks and streaks of gold. I don’t normally get to see the sunrise, because I’m swimming by then, and in a few days daylight savings time is going to push that all back an hour.
  • There were three other people who didn’t know the pool was closed and we got to share a moment in front of the pool building door. A cold, dark moment.
  • As I was driving home at 6:10, the radio station played “The News” by Carbon Silicon, which is my favorite song of all time, currently.
  • I got to test my brakes, because sunrise is prime time for deer crossing. (The brakes work, the deer frolic on!)
  • I have two solid hours to take a shower and eat breakfast before work. Also, my car should be slightly warm when I leave.

Other than that, this is bullshit.
