07/21/2004: "Any Morning"

I don't usually open my eyes right away. At this time of year I can hear the insects and birds through the window. It may be dark, still. I get my glasses off the bedside table and put them on. I might turn on the radio; the classical station doesn't come in too well right now and may be overwhelmed by loud rap. It might be turned right off again. Out of bed before too long. I turn on the computer on the way to the bathroom and kitchen. I make two cups of coffee, and nowadays that's all i drink for the day (most days). I log on, check the mail, stats, and some favorite websites. I refill my coffee while pages load. Read a little in the reading room. Get dressed and brush my teeth. Turn off the computer and do a few chores until it's time to leave.
