With guitar and drum
On tour as it is in Gamehendge.
Give this day our daily toke
And forgive us our WSP stats
As we forgive spreadheads that come to our Phish shows.
And lead us not into the Biscuits
But deliver us from Umphrey's

Its a pain in the arse, I am usually awake by 5 on weekends too, it all stems from a 6:00 am shift a few years ago. I had dreams about sleeping through an alarm clock which is no way to wake up, but now I am just programmed no clock needed. But I am at work now and can leave at 3. But when I am not at home this routine doesnt work well when on going to shows and sharing hotel rooms or other peoples houses. It does for them because they usually wake up to coffee and maybe even breakfast but earlier then normal.

I do think 5 to 7am is the best time to ride the mountain bike and go outside and just listen to the day start. Weird I know but you can hear it.

I'm often the same. Sometimes I reap the benefits of snoozing in, but more often than not I'm on cleanup/breffass duty. Which I don't mind at all.

Last few weeks, I've been up like a bolt at 6:45 on weekends. Luckily been able to get back to sleep for another hour or two, as desired. But its funny b/c I get up 20 mins earlier for work, and I'm still beat.

Im the first to wake, but sadly the first one to bed, usually. Wifey calls me "old man joe" when we're with other people.

I love being the first one up when we take our backpacking trips twice a year. It's so peaceful. Plus watching everyone else struggle to get out of a warm tent on a freezing cold morning is quite funny when you are already acclimated and sitting by the fire.

Nope, entirely unrelated to the back - thats just physical, not systemic.
There was this. So I got tested. A parade of administrative buffoonery ensued, and after a really long time, the results came back that I was not a suitable donor because MY kidneys are f***ed in some way that may be a big deal, or maybe not. So I am finally going to my doctor with those specific results to have a look-see. I feel fine though.

Oh, you got me. I did feel tears and fuzzies. I was going to comment about getting a physical and surprise high cholesterol, but I read the article. I have a newborn 4.5 month at home and I want him enveloped with love at all times. I can imagine that this would bring some comfort during a time of grief.

And, yeah, i hadn't been for a physical in probably 10 years or so, so I got one. high cholesterol and uric acid. It seems to be more genetic than diet/lifestyle, but it has definitely put a damper on my fun and indulgence. I'm eating differently, not drinking and taking supplements, etc. oy.
