Yes, it is amazing what practical "education" can do! When I had a quint.
bypass a little over a year ago, some practical education set in :). I
rather suspect that age has something to do with becoming more a morning
person, and I also was able to sleep in to noon years ago without much
effort. I am still a night person, but it takes some effort to sleep much
later than 8am or so.

BTW, are you saying indirectly that they don't hold hamfests in Melbourne,
or that you can't find one?
