I am an owl

One of the things that seemed to settle in early in my life is that I stay up late.  It may have started when I lived across the street from my elementary school, and I would stay up late reading, and just get up in time to make the dash across the street to school (the picture is the view of the school from our front yard). It certainly got to be a habit when I was in junior high and high school because I was playing gigs regularly...as many as 5 nights a week, but most weekends. In those days you played from 9 to 1, so there were many times I would be eating in Eddie's coffee shop on Charter Way at 3:30 in the morning. Then there was college...and then I was an academic, and didn't have to teach a class before 11am, and then I've been self-employed pretty much since. I can get up early, but I have trouble going to bed before midnight. I know that's probably not good for my health, but I've learned that I don't need that much sleep...until one day I crash, and sleep 10 hours. So my party will probably last late into the night. What party? I spent time yesterday designing the "Save the Date" notice. More about that tomorrow...
