I do more before 9am….

3 Comments / Day to Day /

than the damn Army does all day and I’m getting a little tired of it.


Oh sure, there are some good things to be said for getting up at 4:30am. By 9am the initial work stuff is finished. I’m neat and organized and ready for the first bombshell or the first “I need this” email to arrive. By Noon, I’ve done prepwork for the next day and blog posts have been written. By 2:30, I’m beginning to fade but still quietly sitting in on those phone calls and even more quietly patting myself on the back for getting everything done – and being ahead of the game. By 4:30, I’m done.

And that’s where the problem lies. I can’t BE done at 4:30. I do have a family and they generally frown upon a quick dinner and bed at 4:30. Now I’m trapped in this weird cycle of falling asleep very, very early and waking up very, very early. Even if I wanted to break the cycle, I can’t because the dogs and cats are quite happy with this new schedule, thank you very much – we want our food now, it is 4:45am after all!


OK back to work, darn it.

Save the Hunley!

Day to Day, Questions and Answers /

This post is really just for the Gainesville folks, the rest of you will be bored to tears.  Unless you want to save the Hunley.

Does anyone know who the dude is who drives the blue Jeep Cherokee?  He has a Save the Hunley bumper sticker and his plate says RX DOC 2.  I’m not trying to track him down for anything bad, I’m just wondering why he wants to save the Hunley. 

Not that everyone shouldn’t want to, they should.  It’s just very rare to find someone who is vocal about such a thing.  In fact, the only other person I’ve ever known who is vocal about saving the Hunley would be my father.  (Though in Charleston you do sometimes see those Save the Hunley bumper stickers on cars that do not belong to my father.)

I have fond feelings for the Hunley and I couldn’t get the dude’s attention at the stop light to thank him for his efforts.  So, if you know who he is.  Tell him I said thanks and so would my dad.
