There’s a First Time for Everything

i enjoy staying up late looking at family photos

I should be sleeping now. But I’m learning a little sinister trait about me: I like to stay up late. I enjoy waking up early, praying, kissing my wife in the morning, seeing and helping my kids. But on special trips or vacations, I enjoy indulging in a little late night work, reading, or movie viewing.

This goes against much of what I believe in: hard work, early to bed/early to rise, sleep management, and setting the good example. But I find my brain and emotions (pardon the mixed metaphor, I didn’t want to use the word “heart”) recharge- or is it reset- when I stay up late.

So, after several hours, I’ve got a new blog, “About” page, blog themes and plug-ins, and a restored writer’s aspiration. Who needs to go back to school? I shall endeavor to learn by writing. I shall endeavor to learn in order to write. I wonder if K will know how late I stayed up?
