I Woke up at 4:30 This Morning

I don't know why any better than you do.  It was dead of course, and kind of chilly.  Starbucks only added to the off-kilter vibe.  They were playing "It was a Very Good Year" by the original fake gangster Frank Sinatra. There are periods of my life when I can appreciate Sinatra being in and of it but right now he's just sort of a harpy to my aging ears.

I did have bratwursts with a good amount of cheap Merlot last night that left me feeling pretty dispepsic. Might explain why I'm up early.  I think that I'll just have a salad and a green tea for lunch.  A rich caeser though, and probably coffee actually.
