There's just something marvelous about the dawn- it's so dramatic! The birds, the golden light, the possibilities of the day- they're all so fresh.  It's like the overture for an opera.

Oh Opsa you are a born poet!

I am with you though with he middle of the day zombieship

@ Blue hope you and your family are on safe grounds! Floods can be nasty... we had some bad flooring here in Nashville and that wasn't fun! (os so I hear since I was in Englad at that time  )

@Mental Block and Swaro... guys you are a crack up.. I have been LMAO

Wao... you guys got really wild while I was looking

Meanwhile... the Klingon wedding is such an trashy and intriguing idea

sitting in a hot tub with the snow falling outside.

how about sitting in a hot tub outside in the snow?

I tried that during my visit to Rekijavik (Iceland... I really hope it is spelt that way)...

at first I thought the hotel guests were totally insane... then the friend I was with got me to give it a go... it was superb!

Never watched... but I know your pain!

They killed my favorite show a couple of years ago (Boston Legal) and it was even mroe atrocious because the last episode was the best of the six series...

I would be extremely surprised to the point of flabbergastedness if you had been there in person. It is a lake in the forests in the very south of the Swedish province Småland, close to the border of Skåne, some 40-50 km from the nearest town, Älmhult (yes, the Älmhult of IKEA fame). My family on my mother's side comes from the area, and we have a summer house there, too. 

Nope, never been to Sweeden, this lake looks very much like one close to Inverness in Scotland where I spent many summers...

Thanks for the picture!

How cool! We are all night owls by nature...I am not alone!

Night is much quiter... this is why I used to like it so much...but I have found that being a morning person gives me more energies to "size the day.."

I used to be a consumed night owl, prior to single parental duties of a super hyper child (from day one!)

After a period of healthy grudgin at the little suck...aehemmmm... bundle of joy , I resigned to the inevitable: I had given up for ever my wild nights and weekend late morning sleep in for years...

Now that I could go back being a night owl... I DOn'T want to

it's really cool to look at the clock at 7.30 and know that I am done with my daily bike ride/walk, wights and tai chi/qi qong routine!

What do you guys think?

oh and just in case... this article made me laught, I thought I share
