I hear you, CB&B. I woke up at 5:30 this morning. Maybe it's the anticipation of a full day of activities that are not work related?
I wish. The only thing I have planned is to meet Devildeac for lunch and beer trading. The rest of the day will be devoted to sitting on my ass and tasting beer. (Maybe painting too, but that will be later tonight)
That sounds like fun, non-work related activities to me. Have a blast with Devildeac. I'd say to tell him I said hi, but he'll probably read it here first!
If it's nice outside I may go outside and try out my new camera lenses. I have a 60mm macro and a 35mm lens. I got the 35mm lens because I used to get lots of good shots with my old Pentax K-1000 and a 50mm lens, and a 35mm DSLR lens is roughly the equivalent of a 50mm lens on a film camera. It has something to do with the distance between the lens and the image sensor on a DSLR vs the lens vs film distance. Anyway, I want to play with white balance and color saturation settings and see what happens. It's obviously not a good day to get shots of flowers, but I might go to the zoo if it's warm.

Between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. was my normal window to get up in the morning, I needed to feed Eva her wet food. Plus she always wanted to run around and play afterwards. Now, I'm struggling to get out of bed sooner than 7:30 a.m. the last few days. And its really kinda quiet because Grant and Kelly are content to go back to sleep...

Will do! They generally go up on my Facebook page. My bro-in-law is quite the photographer and tells me I need to get a Flickr account for my pics. I might have to do that; Facebook really doesn't do justice to some of my MoBot shots.

I'm watching The Three Stooges. Earlier I watched Larry the Cable Guy on the Biography channel. If you give Curly a flannel shirt with the sleeves ripped off, he'd be a dead ringer for Larry the Cable Guy. (And funnier)

A friend of mine took one of her kittens to the vet yesterday. It was diagnosed with the dry form of FIP. Ugh!

ChatBot, on the other hand, is an asshole.

I just started watching at the 12 minute mark in the 2nd halfs. Refs calling everything KY's way (except that one charge call Tenn got). Tenn's half-court O looks pretty pathetic.

I'm currently capping off an inspired two weeks of culinary pursuits by smoking three racks of ribs. They've been out there for a little more than 2.5 hours now.

And WRAL cuts away from the UK-Tenn game, tied at 65 with a minute left to show us the beginning of the Wake-UNC beatdown.
Why do we always have to suffer through the end of a Big East foul-fest before they cut into our games 10 minutes into action?
