Hola Rick...not much...watching the Saawx get slaughtered...thought I'd check out FTE to make sure you guys were behaving. Won't be on long...got a new schedule for "work". Gotta be in the building at 6AM...that sucks...but...I'll be out before 11. That's the good part!!!
I always liked going to work early, for the same reason you do.

I used to be up every morning at 5:30...now...I've gotten used to sleeping until 6 or 6:30 each morning. I just have to adjust to getting up that early.

Now we usually sleep till 7:30 but the mornings Patty doesn't go to exercise till 10:00 we sleep till 8:00.

If I lay in bed too long my back begins to hurt.
