In the past two years I’ve fully developed the habit of awakening at 5. Once 8 o’clock hits, I can’t see my screen anymore. But if I don’t run away, and keep my eyes on it, I can eke out another hour…

p.s. yes, I’ve been told that the barbecue is spying on me. I’m on to it now…

p.p.s. no, I’m not sucking my thumb. I’m thinking. Big part of writing. That and staring. And yes, I do type one handed or two-fingered.
