It is 0230.
A. M.
I am completely dressed, make-up on,
coffee half drank. Drunk? Really. It's 0230 in the morning. Does it
really matter?
Here's the rub.
I am doing this voluntarily.
This has nothing to do with work. (see
Beck and Call)
I rolled out of bed to the obnoxious
alarm clock all for the sake of adventure.
My question is this:
Why can't an adventure start at a
civilized hour.
Say 1030?
Did Louis and Clark leave for the great
Northwest Unknown in the middle of the night?
Doubtful.
And these were two of the most
adventuresome people I can think of.
You know why?
Because it is TWO THIRTY A!M!
(More to come.)
(after I get a nap.)

This made me smile! My family was always the type to leave for adventures in the wee hours of the morning, too. But I'm not first choice for driver so I just go straight back to sleep in the car.
ReplyDeleteI am a big 'car sleeper' too. It's the best!
DeleteI'm impressed that you had your make-up on at that hour of the morning! I'm all for adventure but not sure I would be coherent enough to apply make-up!
ReplyDeleteEven though I had the makeup on - and thought i looked pretty good - when I saw myself in the airport bathroom I still looked pretty deranged!
