I am not a morning person. I also tend to be a rather heavy sleeper. Mix
these two things together and you have one person that is hard to wake up at
times.
Lord knows my Dad has tried. He's tried John Phillips Sousa. He's
tried Richard
Wagner. He's even tried the 1812
Overture at eleven and that still failed to wake me
up (what did work, however, was the Frozen Wash Cloth to the Face Method,
and the Dump Me in Snow Method but those are not as effective as they were
since he now lives in Palm Springs, California).
Spring found this
out as she was trying to wake me up. She found some rather
unconventional music in an attempt to wake me up. She finally shook me
awake and I found the rather
unconventional music more amusing than annoying or loud (give it a
listen—the squirrel could use some money).
There is one type of music that I find so truely annoying that it
would wake me up rather quickly, but of course I'm not going to mention what
that is.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
