Up Before the Sun

The only problem with going to bed early last night was that I was up well before the sun rose. I was even awake before my cats, who really didn't care for once. They gave me a rude look, climbed under the covers on the just-vacated warm part of the bed, and went back to sleep. So after a long and rambling walk around the neighborhood and a stop by Starbucks on the way home, here I now sit in front of the computer, refreshed, energized, and ready to start the day.

The highlight of the weekend thus far was attending an employee's wedding Friday evening at Blue Pete's in southern Virginia Beach. It was a small affair, but very well done and enjoyable. The only drawback was sitting at the table reserved for coworkers and having to endure the antics of a bunch of car salesmen (coworkers of the groom) as they progressively became more annoying with each drink consumed. Perhaps their highly aggressive Type A personalities work well in selling cars, but in a formal social environment, they were more than just a little out of place. And manners? Pffffffft. Ukrainian goatherders probably have higher standards of etiquette.

Otherwise, a very nice wedding. And I didn't end up buying a second car.
