I just spent 10 minutes looking at celebrity mugshots. It was entertaining enough. Best one was Kid Rock after getting in a brawl at a Waffle House outside of Atlanta.

It's not quite 9am and I can sense that it's going to be a long day. Luckily, we're making cake this afternoon. The urge to plop the kids in front of the TV with Aladdin is strong this morning, but I'll try and be good and wait...

Good morning. My wife and one of her sisters have left for a weekend trip to visit family.

Et maintenant, que les jeux commencent!

I'm not very good at french, but I'm 99% sure that this translates to "the strippers are already on their way over"

So there was a possible tornado across the East river yesterday with the storm that rolled through. Sweet.

Morning, was going to go into NYC to buy textbooks at New York Nautical store, but sleep is calling my name instead. We have the father of US Navy Seal and Medal of Honor winner Michael Murphy speaking to our cadet regiment at our dress inspection this afternoon, should be one of the best speeches I'll hear in my time here.

Then its a weekend of boozing and school sporting events (Women's soccer is playing SUNY Potsdam tonight, and Potsdam is ~30 minutes from my house and thus several players grew up in my area, so I'm getting wasted and heckling their hometowns.) and tomorrow is football vs the US Merchant Marine Academy which is our rival across the river (not as big of a rivalry as say BC/BU or anything like that, but its our main rival who we beat by a FG last year.) Should be a fun weekend.

Hey kids. This has been the longest week! I was thinking about it and realized this was the first 5-day work for me in about 2 1/2 months. I'm not used to this!!!!

You would be correct as far as I can tell.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 121: How will you spend your days until the season starts?

good idea... that'll give you a year to man up and throw it out, meaning you'll never have to admit to drinking strawberry wine

Yeah, I'm thinking that while Strawberry moonshine is ok, strawberry wine is not.

Man up. A flu shot will just give you a 6 month cold.

I'd take a 6 month cold over the flu. But I've never had the flu shot cause one.

And bbdl: you man up, too. Unless you're married, you don't drink wine. Period. Now, if you made some moonshine...

I disagree, one of my favorite memories of time spent with Mr. Hit when we were dating was sharing two bottles of red wine one night. (though, Mr. Hit drank a lot less of the wine than I did)

Aside - Those of you still curious: All proceeds well.

Good to hear!

Of course it does. There was never any doubt.

In other news, I'm going to play a game of global thermonuclear war with my employer. Right now, things are about to go to DEFCON 4, and they're about to find out I've hacked into their system.

I didn't think you were old enough to make that movie reference.

We may have one if I get into school there. Lakeside.

Nice. *thumbs up*
Going to work. It's Friday!!

Happy Friday! I get to see your employers this evening, they are going to finally meet Maggie.

Well, its easy when you are a vampire.

Speaking of vampires, I was starting to think I had given birth to one. Finally she is starting to get her days and nights straightened out.

Good morning. My wife and one of her sisters have left for a weekend trip to visit family.

That sounds about right to me.

I never really understood why there is such a distinction between daytime and nighttime in society.

Just because it is dark out doesn't mean we couldn't have businesses open, regular public transportation, and any other services running.

Shouldn't we be a 24 hour society at this point?

It would actually reduce traffic problems if half the population was asleep during the day and vice versa at night.

Ok, I saw through your argument. You just want bars to be open 24 hours/day.

We already are in the medical field.

Actually, it'd make traffic problems worse for me. My commute to work is easy since there's practically no traffic - save for Fri-Sat nights when people are heading downtown. My commute home in the morning is also fairly easy - albeit in heavier traffic - because despite the higher volume, it's still free-flowing. If you shifted more people onto my hours, both of my commutes would get worse (the morning one would due to the increased likelihood of more people going in the same direction as me to the suburbs rather than into the core city, while the night commute would also get worse due to increased traffic).

There's also the issue of sleep patterns / circadian rhythms. It isn't easy to get used to sleeping during daytime hours, and even if you get used to it, your quality of sleep is almost certainly worse than it would be at night. Getting sufficient sunlight exposure is also a challenge - while it's easy to suggest going outside in the morning after coming off a shift, bear in mind that sunlight exposure tends to wake you up - which is not what you want when you're about to go to bed for the day.

Speaking of box, eh?






Mmm... box...

morning Lodge. Time to get ready to commute to Greensboro.

The only wine I've ever liked was a blackberry merlot. It was custom made at a wine store. It's the only wine that has ever tasted good to me. I find wine snobby. I understand people like it, but I don't understand the appeal.

Because humans are diurnal, not nocturnal. We are programmed to slow down after dark.

In any case, both Mr. Hit and I work during the day, so I need my sleep at night.

Yeah, Mom is coming over at 5 and we're doing dinner with the girls, then I have the weekend off. The girls are making cake for their mom as it's her birthday tomorrow. We're doing vanilla "funfetti" cake with vanilly "funfetti" icing. I also bought pink candles and a pink icing pen. It was supposed to be a secret, but the dad let the cat out of the bag! (the girls were doing so well keeping it a surprise!)

I would love to have that - for people who work 9-5 and can't get to the post office or people who work off hours and have trouble getting to the grocery store because it closes at 10. A whole host of other businesses. I'm not saying that all small businesses should run 24 hours, but the big stuff should - it would make everyone's lives easier, I think.

Like that's a bad thing...

Move to New York or Vegas.

Yeah, just have to overcome a few hundred thousand years of evolution that have programmed us to sleep in the dark and be awake in the light. Way doncha get right on that?
