Early to Rise

I have never been an early riser by choice. Nor have I been one to 'sleep in'. As a creature of habit, I stagger to the bathroom around 7 am every morning and it seems to work for me to stay up at that point and get on with my day. There are two things that I can think of that get me out of bed earlier than that. One of them is an early flight to a tropical vacation spot in the middle of winter. The other is the prospect of catching a spectacular sunrise on a foggy morning. This is on the Fraser River, about as early as I can handle. (circa 1975)
