Lazy Days Of Summer

This morning, "Daughter" and I did something that we rarely do. We slept in. "Wife" went to work like a good soldier, and since I had nothing scheduled for this morning, she didn't reset the alarm. I'm almost embarrassed to say this , but I woke up at 9:50. Talk about a life of leisure. "Daughter" didn't come down stairs until almost 10:30. Needless to say, our schedule is way off today.

I remember the time when I slept late on a regular basis. Being a comic lends itself to a late night schedule, so sleeping late became a habit. I would be up until 4am most nights and then sleep until noon or later. Even after I got married, I would stay up late and then sleep until early afternoon, not giving much thought to "Wife's" early schedule. "Wife" and I used to spend Sunday mornings sleeping late. That all ended when "Daughter" was born.

Now I'm usually up pretty early and don't feel too guilty that I get to sleep longer than "Wife". It seems weird to sleep in, but I must admit I still love it. Knowing that I'm relaxing while most of the world is slaving away at their nine to fives makes me a happy man. I enjoy being an international man of leisure. If it wasn't for this post, I would be sunning myself right now.

I've got to keep this short. "Daughter" is "BORED" and I need to explain to her the finer points of doing nothing. You're not bored, you're on vacation. Enjoy it now, life comes calling soon enough. You'd better get back to work, and I better get back to whatever it is I do to fill the time. Later...Brian
