in 1492.....
Mornings.
I'm sure that they have been invented, but my brain was racking itself this morning in the shower (where do you people contemplate life? In an easy-chair? Ha!) about how to either create or track down something that would let me only turn on about 1/4th of the lights in my bathroom when i arise before the sun every weekday.
It seems such a small part of a day, of a life, but really; how disturbing is the naked burning of the invasive 60W sun(s) that you have to turn on in the morning, straight from the warm and soft darkness where there are pillows, blankets and if you're having a good dream -- the gift of flight. It hurts me to think of it.
To be honest, the best solution is really to refuse to rise until the sun itself crests the horizon and provides nature's reverse dimmer switch. Sadly, though, that would make me more than an hour late to almost everything that i am supposed to do. There should be a law.
THIS WEEK'S FESTIVITY ALERT COLOR: RED!
For those within the mountain time zone (and if you are really motivated, any of the other ones too) feel free to come to the Blocksma's house this weekend, Saturday Oct 7 around 7 pm to participate in our Columbus Day Party! There should be snacks and drinks (not completely composed of, but not limited to, supplies left over from the wedding) such as Banina Floats, Pinta Bean Nacho's and Santa Margarita's. If you need the address or directions drop me a comment and i will get them to you.
