Rise and monkeyshine

I’ve never been one to sleep in. Even as a kid, when I wouldn’t get to sleep before midnight or later, I would generally be up the next morning in time for school, whether there was school that day or not. I was different that way. As a teen-aged boy, I counted many a Saturday-morning hour, waiting until noon to put in a call to my buddy Bill, knowing he’d be unconscious all morning. Bill tells me he still sleeps in that way when given the chance. Me, I get up earlier than ever, but I don’t stay up until midnight nearly as often as I once did.

Oh, by the way, it’s spring!
