Hold the presses!

By special request, the post below will deviate from the stated goal of this blog. Instead, a Super Bowl Sunday report on the process of waking up.

----------------------------------

Out of touch with the world before awakening, all that’s on my mind is described in vivid detail by this photo ...


Rolling over, an inadvertent look in the direction of the bedside clock reinforces my hope that it is way too early to get up:


Nevertheless,
despite our best attempts to keep it out, sunlight persists in creeping into the room:


Ah, the ceiling fan is still there. Good! One less thing to fix.



Another glance at the clock --- well, that’s more like it!



What’s that delicious smell coming from the kitchen? Perhaps, it really IS time to get moving!

    As far as I am concerned...black and white suites morning just fine!!Maybe if I had a cook in the kitchen getting up would be a lot more fun!

  2. What's this about a cook in the kitchen?

    I'll be curious to hear about your choice of black and white. In my own experience I recognize out of focus and soft colors, at least if there is light in the room. On work days I get up to the warm glow of an alarm clock that also slowly brings up a light.

  3. So what's the rest of the story--what was cooking?

  4. John,

    My comments on your whole blog are at the bottom of this long trail. It just occurred to me now that I might have missed a comment box nearer the top......
    so I'm letting you know.
    Won't make that mistake again.
