Re: QOTD: Wednesday, July 9
What wakes me up? Oh my, this is a loaded question... First, which time: the first, second, or third time after I retire to my Bed? Nature calls twice if I'm lazy and don't wear my "Snorkel" (my CPAP). If I do suit up like a scuba diver, then it's usually the strangling hose that wakes me, somewhere between 4 to 5 hours after I dive into bed.

If the question is, What allows me to wake up in the mornings? The answer lies in the idea of writing more things for my grandsons to discard and wish they still had, fifty years from now, when they are better in touch with their mortality, and are trying to remember and share the things I laid on their unhearing youthful ears.

If the question is what keeps me awake, Thick.... I mean thick, dark, 4- to 5-scoop coffee. and a touch of hazelnut creamer.
