YESTERDAY WAS SUNDAY and Saturday it was before that. And I had to decide then if I’d go out to breakfast or not or maybe just lie in bed listening to C-SPAN or get up and do whatever. This morning was different. The phone alarm went off at 6:23 and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I had to get up. Check the phone, have a big glass of hot water, do TM meditation which I always do—for 40-some years. Then get ready to go out with the sign. Breakfast when I get back. I like a reason to get moving in the morning.
